Within the service a client who is assessed as high or very high risk will be given priority and supported by an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA). Clients who are assessed as medium to standard risk will be provided with support from My Sisters Place services depending on their needs. This may include the support of the Economic Abuse Support Team. All clients accessing the service are assessed using the SAFE LIVES DASH risk indicator checklist.
