CAADA is a charity established to encourage the use of independent advocacy as a way to increase the safety of survivors.
We are working to create a consistent, professional and effective response for all survivors of domestic violence and in particular those at high risk. We do this through delivering services directly to advocacy projects, their local multi-agency partners and also through our work with funders, policy advisers and government.
We offer a professional and accredited training programme for IDVAs or advocates that runs throughout the country. For graduates of this course we offer continuing professional development training days. We are piloting the process of national service standards, these have been developed following our successful project support visits to 21 IDVA projects around the UK. As part of the government’s initiative in designating new specialist domestic violence court areas, we are running training on MARACs (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference).
Our ever-expanding website includes resources such as research findings, protocols and risk assessment forms.
