Notice Description

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales (Commissioners) are welcoming tender applications for the contract of three sub-regional Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) services. The Contractor shall provide a single IDVA Service across the North Wales Force area. The IDVAs shall work to address the safety of people at high risk of domestic abuse from intimate partners, ex-partners and family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children. Operating as the primary point of contact, IDVAs typically work with their clients from the point of crisis to assess the risk, review options, and develop and implement plans to address their immediate safety, as well as longer-term solutions.
