What the notice says

Derbyshire Constabulary intend to procure an Employers Independent Domestic Violence Advocate Service which will sit within the Professional Standards Department. This Preliminary Market Engagement will enable key stakeholders to create a business case. The service will provide an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) response to give direct support to individuals employed by Derbyshire Constabulary and enduring domestic abuse. Amongst other things, the IDVA will provide confidential, practical, and impartial advice on issues relating to domestic abuse, child matters, safety, housing, legal options and financial support. Where an individual is referred to MARAC, the IDVA will either seek consent to make a referral to the local IDVA who will attend MARAC, or the IDVA will attend MARAC. The IDVA will also discuss and go through the support options available at Derbyshire Constabulary and will liaise directly with line managers and HR to agree an action plan to support employees. The expected referral rate within Derbyshire is 10-20 referrals per annum. If the business case is approved, a compliant procurement route will be taken at the point of purchase.
