From strength to strength...
Our partnership bid to the home office for an independent domestic violence advocate (IDVA) was successful. We have received £10,000 for the period December 2007 to March 2008. We have appointed a full time IDVA worker who will take a lead in the development of this role in partnership with statutory and voluntary stakeholders. The worker will work closely with the Specialist Domestic Violence (Bingley) Court (SDVC). The IDVA worker will establish links with, MARAC, the case builders, CPS, to help improve prosecution with a view to making a very positive impact on the cases. Leading to improved communication with the courts and CPS leading to increased safety and reduced fear for the victims of domestic abuse.
