Survivors stories

Sindy, specialist ISVA

Read more about the specialist support we offer and listen to Sindy talking about the specialist support she offers to victim survivors.

You have been amazing the support you have shown and given throughout the whole process has been outstanding! You have always been a good listener and someone you can talk to about everything!

I really couldn’t have made it through the court process with the courage and bravery I did, without her being by my side and being my cheerleader. Her professionalism throughout always made me feel like I was in the safest and most knowledgeable hands.

My ISVA, Amber, has been absolutely incredible over the past year. Her timely support and communication and empathy is one of the main reasons I continued with the police investigation and my masters degree. I would not have achieved my degree result if it wasn’t for the help that she gave me during this time.
