About

Dorset Police awarded a contract to Victim Support for the delivery of Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA) Services for high-risk victims of domestic abuse across Dorset.

The service provides support predominantly for adults, as well as children and young people, in partnership with other agencies.

The contractor works closely with relevant services and statutory agencies as part of a whole-system response to domestic abuse, including identification, referral, and triage of victims.

It supports victims and associated victims, the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) and High Risk Domestic Abuse (HRDA) process, and post-intervention step-down or recovery.

The service also engages with local processes surrounding perpetrators, such as the High Harm Perpetrator Panel, to support safeguarding and reduce the risk of future abuse, and delivers the Family Court Pathfinder Programme.

The contract value is £5,127,240.
