I'm considering reporting to the police, or already have...

​An ISVA can explain to you what will happen if you report to the police and go through the criminal justice process in detail with you. They can support you through every step of the journey if you chose to report, from when you first speak to police to attending court if the suspect is charged.  If you decide this is not the best option for you that is fine, you do not have to report to the police just because you have spoken to an ISVA about doing so.
​
An ISVA will also complete a ‘needs and risk assessment’ with you to help identify how else they can help you with things that have been affected because of the incident – this could be things like your safety, home life, school/education, feelings and behaviour, mental health and sexual health.
