## Notice

The ISVA role was originally commissioned by the Home Office Violent Crime Unit in 2005. ISVAs offer practical support and advice to people who have experienced rape, sexual violence/abuse or sexual exploitation at any point in their lives. This would include supporting people to report a crime to the Police and throughout the criminal justice process but that is not a requirement to access the service. This service would work with adults living in the Hampshire County Council and Portsmouth City Council area except in exceptional circumstances as detailed in Section 4 Service Specification. Additional information: Documentation is only available via Intend as per the link above. Documentation is not available via email.
