The North Wales Violence Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV) Strategic Board, together with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, Supporting People and the Area Planning Board, are looking to tender for three sub-regional Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) services. The services will cover the 6 Local Authorities, Wrexham and Flintshire, Denbighshire and Conwy and Gwynedd and Anglesey.
IDVAs work to address the safety of all people at high risk of domestic violence and abuse from intimate partners, ex-partners and family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children. The service works with men and women. 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.
