What is IDVA?

The Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) Service is a small team of independent domestic violence advisors and advocates. We support victims, survivors and their families who are experiencing domestic violence and abuse (DVA) and who have been assessed as high risk of serious harm and homicide. Our aim is to make them feel safer.

How we do this:

  • Safety planning 
  • Information on Civil options available 
  • Information on Criminal options available
  • Sanctuary advice/assessment 
  • Housing options advice  
  • Home Fire Risk Assessment
  • Further support  

We support:

The IDVA service supports all residents of Manchester over the age of 16 years, regardless of ethnic origin, religion, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, disability and relationship status.
