IDAS - INDEPENDENT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVISORS (IDVA)

The support we offer is client focussed; clients may need support around leaving a relationship safely, and others ask for support around staying in their relationship safely.

Funding for Family Court work

We are proud to have been awarded funding from The Access to Justice Foundation, to increase the support available to victims of domestic abuse facing private law proceedings. The funding will also allow us to develop an innovative pilot working with individuals, couples and co-parents to deescalate disputes and support with safe arrangements for children.

Who we are

We are a specialist charity with many years’ experience of supporting and accommodating victims and survivors of domestic abuse.   We are proud to deliver high quality services that help protect victims and survivors whatever choice they make about their future.  We also work to transform the systems that can directly or indirectly.

If I ring the Police, do I have to go to court?

Each case is dealt with differently and largely depends on what has happened. When you report to the police, they should assess the situation and ensure the safety of you and your children. This might mean arresting and taking the perpetrator into custody. Following this, the police compile a report on what has happened.
