Support the role of an Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA) in London hospitals
Support the role of an Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA) in London hospital’s, increasing survivors’ safety, health and well-being.
According to the most recent government statistics, an estimated 1.2 million women experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2017 (ONS, 2017), and an estimated 4.3 million women aged 16-59 have experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16 (ONS, 2018).
BCBN in partnership with an award-winning charity, Advance Saving Lives and one of London’s largest hospitals – Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT) are fundraising for the role of an IDVA. The IDVA will be the first point of call in any scenario or situation in which the person at risk and suffering from domestic violence will receive much needed help and support when they are at their most vulnerable. With your support, the project will see 110 referrals made to the IDVA each year. Read more >>
