#16Days - Day 14: Standing Strong in Court – Our IDVA & Court IDVA Team
Today we’re highlighting the incredible work of our IDVA team, including our specialist Court IDVA, who stand beside survivors during some of the most intimidating and vulnerable moments of their journey.
From police reports to MARAC, from emergency safety planning to navigating the Family Court, our IDVAs are there to ensure survivors are understood, believed and protected.
“I couldn’t have walked into that courtroom without her. She explained everything, sat with me, and made me feel like I wasn’t facing him alone.”
Our IDVA team provides:
Support during hearings and legal processes
Guidance around rights, safety and options
Clear explanations in a system that can feel overwhelming
Emotional support when survivors are afraid or retraumatised
A calm, steady presence when everything else feels uncertain
To our entire IDVA team: your strength, compassion and expertise save lives every single day. Thank you for being the voice, shield and advocate our survivors deserve, especially when the court process can be one of the scariest things they've ever had to face.
