We’re sharing an important update about the Gloucestershire Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) Service currently provided by Gloucestershire’s Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (GRASAC). Following a procurement process by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC), First Light in partnership with Barnardos were the successful bidder and awarded a contract to provide these vital services. We extend our sincere thanks to GRASAC for their dedicated service to victims of sexual violence in Gloucestershire. This change will come into effect from 1^st August 2025. The OPCC, GRASAC, First Light and Barnardos are committed to ensuring that victims of sexual violence in Gloucestershire receive the highest standard of support from their ISVA service and are working hard to ensure a seamless transfer from providers.
