Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA)
ISVAs are specially trained to work with victims and survivors of recent and non-recent crimes of sexual abuse, assault, or rape. If you are 17 and under, you will have a specialist young person's ISVA (ChISVA). You do not have to report to the police to receive support.
There is a vast range of support that an ISVA/CHISVA can offer, but their main role is to provide emotional and practical support for anyone who has experienced current or historic rape, sexual abuse or assault.
An ISVA can help in lots of different ways:

• if you're thinking of reporting to the police, but are unsure what that involves, they can talk you through the process
• if you do decide to report to the police, they can support you throughout the investigation and if your case goes to court
• they can advise you about your health, wellbeing, and rights
• they can help you access other support services

Learning & Development:
SV2 delivers consent workshops to year 9 and above in a variety of educational settings across Derbyshire. We believe that understanding consent helps to form healthy relationships and dispels societal myths about sexual abuse and rape.
The workshops are a combination of discussions, activities and videos. We encourage healthy debates and the opportunity to explore ideas. The workshop gives the young people a safe place to voice their opinions, ask questions and know they will be listened to.

At the end of the workshop young people will have a better understanding of consent and how to access support. We offer tailored content for different year groups, right up to undergraduate students.

We believe it is important for professionals to understand the impact of abuse and rape. Our sessions aim to help professionals feel more confident when responding to disclosures. We will provide information about SV2 services, how we can support those affected by sexual abuse/rape and how to make a referral. As part of the session our Learning & Development Officers will raise awareness of various trauma responses to help dispel myths and challenge societal views.
