UAVA Stakeholder Survey

Overview

Last year the Council changed how we commissioned domestic and sexual violence support services.

All services are now delivered by UAVA (United Against Violence & Abuse), which is a consortium of three established local support providers:

Living Without Abuse (LWA)

Women's Aid Leicester & Leicestershire (WALL)

FreeVA

The following services were commissioned for Leicester city residents:

* Family Service for children and young people aged 0-19 and their parents and carers (delivered by LWA)

* Safe Home Service delivering emergency accommodation (refuge), sanctuary interventions and general housing advice (delivered by WALL)

* Perpetrator Interventions Service, for those motivated to change their abusive behaviour (delivered by FreeVA).

In addition, there is a jointly commissioned information and support service funded by Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, Rutland County Council and the Police & Crime Commissioner, which delivers support across the region.

The information and support service is for anyone aged 13 and over, affected by domestic or sexual violence. This includes the main helpline service, one-to-one support, group work, independent domestic violence advisors, independent sexual violence advisors and counselling services for victims. This service is delivered by the whole consortium.

Why your views matter

As part of our monitoring of these services, we want to hear your views. We have developed a short survey that should only take 5-10 minutes to complete.

Please mark the answer which most reflects your views.

You can also give more detailed comments and there is a general comments box at the end of the survey.

We will use your responses in our monitoring feedback to the services, and more generally to help shape any services we may commission in the future.

Information will be anonymous and treated confidentially. Please note that we will not be able to take action relating to any specific cases you mention, unless you give us appropriate contact details.
