## **RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023** 


It is always recommended that one should start at the very beginning – but we are starting at the very end with this report as we are closing the year buzzing with excitement about our intended expansion of services and premises in the coming months.  More news to follow but we think we may have finally found solutions to our lack of space and consequent inability to increase counselling and support hours for our clients. This is good news for everyone, and I am putting it right here – at the beginning of our report because so many staff have mentioned it in their personal updates on the year. 

We have long been aware of the challenges of our room space and think we have finally found a solution. 

It’s really challenging, each year to try and write something gripping for an annual report when you are writing about the horrors of sexual violence and its impacts on its victims. 

But, like the end of any year it’s a time for reflection on how far we have come and where we want to get to. 

It’s close to 20 years since I first started work with RASA and only by looking back through our early Annual Reports can I see clearly how far we have come. Yes I can remember those early days when we would sit in semi darkness in our little house in Birkenhead, wondering whose idea it had been to paint the walls dark orange - waiting for the phone to ring. 

In those days 2004-06 the computer was simply to write letters and play the  radio.  There  were  no  such  things  as  bank  transfers  and  quick payments. Client records were held in huge fat files, that just grew fatter each year – and all file movements were recorded using a pencil and rubber – when you  remembered you  had moved a file.  Elastic bands pinged at regular intervals as they stretched to breaking point – and then – beyond. 

RASA was approaching 20 years old and the good women who had worked tirelessly to get her thus far had dreams of the future – we could all see the future – but we had no idea how we were going to get there. 

We were massively excited to welcome 20 new volunteer counsellors that year – we relied heavily on volunteers – mainly because we had no funds to  pay  anyone.  But  in  that  year,  we  managed  to  carry  out  1224 counselling appointments, 261 support appointments, respond to 2809

helpline  calls  and  welcome  364  new  women  into  the  service.  This indicates the determination and dedication of the RASA Team. 

Jump forward to this year and we now have 36 paid staff, including a team of ISVAs, a Children’s Section and an Adult Counselling Section. We cover Sefton, Wirral and Liverpool and welcomed 2152 new clients into service. And – we no longer have bulging paper files as all our records are held safely  and  electronically  on  a  cloud-based  server.  How  times  have changed

Our work this year beyond our regular counselling, ISVA and support has been as varied as training tram drivers in Manchester about how to be an effective  bystander,  running  trauma  courses  for  external  counsellors, delivering sexual harassment awareness training in the local universities – all while managing to deliver face to face counselling and support to over 3600 people in need of our help. 

In April 2022 our waiting list for counselling in Birkenhead was 10 months long. We simply needed more room to be able to hold more sessions and bring down that waiting time. We employ multiple activities and support

sessions for clients awaiting counselling and these are helping to fill that gap. 

Our Birkenhead Centre was running “Taking Back Control” sessions with amazing results for long term sufferers of the impacts of sexual violence. 

Following the sessions 

- One client was able to return to work. 

- Another client was able to get the bus to university. 

- One client saw her perpetrator before a meeting but felt strong enough to attend her meeting despite seeing the perpetrator. 

- Two  clients  have  decided  that  they  would  like  to  come  off  the counselling waiting list. 

These are huge advances, and it is great to see the hard work of the client and the session leader, producing such positive outcomes. This carefully developed and innovative programme is showing enormous early success. Jo Wood Finance Manager 

## **RASA SUNFLOWERS –  OUR  CHILDREN’S SERVICE** 

## Name: Janet Bunn 

It has been another busy year for RASA Sunflowers. I feel lucky to be part of this team. It will be three years this August since I took on the role of team manager. I am grateful for the 


support of my team and the other managers, including Helen, who set the Sunflowers service up and previously managed it. Helen continues to be an invaluable source of help, support, and wisdom. 

Sunflowers continues to grow, having appointed a full-time Children and Young People’s Sexual Violence Advisor (CHISVA), to join our two existing part-time CHISVAs across Sefton, Liverpool, and Wirral. We are fortunate that  this  worker  was  previously  our  assessment  officer,  where  she developed  a  good  understanding  of  the  Sunflowers  service.  She  has started  her  initial  ISVA  training  with  Lime  Culture  and  the  Level  3 Counselling Skills with RASA Education. 

Due to this staff development, we appointed a new part-time assessment officer in December 2022. This worker has previous experience of working

## **RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023** 


with children and young people within a women’s refuge. The insight that this experience has provided has proved extremely beneficial in assessment officer role. This worker has also started some training with RASA Education -the Level 2 Counselling Concepts. As staff, we are so lucky to have such fantastic training opportunities within our organisation with RASA Education. 

Another  example  of  this  is  a  longstanding  member  of  our  team  has recently qualified as a counsellor and hypnotherapist with RASA and has started counselling some of our clients on the waiting list in Liverpool and Sefton. 

Another exciting area of staff development since December 2022 is that three of our Sunflowers team have completed EMDR Child and Adolescent training.  We  are  also  receiving  monthly  EMDR  child  and  adolescent supervision  from  this  child  specialist  trainer  and  consultant  which  is proving extremely helpful. 

We have been fortunate to receive some funding for counselling which we were  able  to  use  to  reduce  the  Sunflowers  waiting  list,  however  this funding ended at the end of March. We do expect therefore to see the impact of this funding ending on our waiting lists. However, I am grateful that we have some experienced and talented therapists with RASA who are  keen  to  work  with  the  Sunflowers  team,  both  in  Wirral  and  in Liverpool/Sefton,  which  helps  to  reach  our  clients  on  the  waiting  list sooner. 

To try to improve access to our service, two of our Sunflowers workers (a counsellor and a CHISVA) have started offering our service from a base in Southport once a week, to accommodate Southport clients who would struggle to make it to Bootle, which is proving to be a popular addition to our services. 

A memorable event in February was RASA Sunflowers’ involvement in NOW Fest – the Young People’s Mental Health Festival run by Merseyside Youth Association. The theme this year was Mental Health and Violence Prevention. Two of our Sunflowers clients individually performed speeches at the festival, based on their own lived experience and survival of sexual violence. One piece was entitled ‘Wild Animal,’ and the other was entitled ‘Love, Heartbreak and Post Traumatic Growth.’ Their bravery in addressing  a  huge  audience  with  their  personal  accounts  was  very

moving, they won an award and were described as a standout performance at the festival. 

A continuing  challenge  is  the lack of  room availability  at our base  in Sefton, which can restrict the availability that we could otherwise offer for clients and limits our ability to offer group sessions to children and young people  and has,  in some  cases,  prevented us  from  seeing  clients  for individual face to face sessions. This situation will improve when we are able to expand premises this year, and we look forward to being able to offer face to face groups, for both young people and parents/caregivers. 


Another challenge we are facing is the recruitment of suitable staff. There is one vacancy that we are struggling to fill which is our outreach Power Project worker. Some of the roles at RASA are extremely complex and challenging roles and need very skilled women to fill them. 

We have reduced our children’s  counselling waiting list in Wirral to 1 month, from 3-4 months in last year. We achieved this through our use of additional counsellors (both volunteer and funded). 

In December, I attended a meeting with the Child Sexual Abuse Centre focused  on  strengthening  services  for  victims  and  survivors  and  the challenges in meeting the demand for services. It was encouraging to reflect on  the  variety  of  ways  in  which  RASA  Sunflowers  is  providing services to young people whilst they wait for therapy. 

In addition to our managing symptoms booklets, we are continuing to offer caregivers a single session of psychoeducation on helping their child

to recover from trauma, in addition to two new monthly online live events for young people: 

1 To support young people in understanding and managing their trauma symptoms, which includes psychoeducation and grounding techniques. 

2 Top tips for young people to improve wellbeing. These sessions are available as soon as their initial assessment has been completed following referral. These are delivered monthly by three members of our team. 

In Wirral, during the April/May exam season, we are also offering single sessions  for  coping  with  exam  stress.  The  plan  is  to  offer  this  in Sefton/Liverpool when we can accommodate this space-wise, when we expand our premises this year. 

I attend bi-monthly Rainbow management meetings with the Alder Hey SARC. In addition to this, I attend regular meetings with the lead clinical psychologist  at  the  SARC  and  the  child  therapy  lead  at  RASASC,  to promote collaborative working and share good practice. ‘ 

In  April  2023,  I  attended  an  event  run  by UNICEF, focusing on furthering understanding of Children’s rights. Following on from this, I arranged a meeting with Liverpool child friendly city coordinator to consider how RASA Sunflowers can get involved and promote the voice  of  children  and  young  people  within Liverpool. 


Our team regularly attends meetings in Wirral, Sefton and Liverpool of voluntary organisations which support children and young people, as well as Every Child Matters forum.

The  Operations  Manager at RASA  is  Lorraine  Wood. Her  role  includes strategic development, monthly line management meetings and holding a counselling caseload. She also teaches in the RASA education centre.

As part of her role, she has undergone development in strategic projects across Liverpool and Sefton – involving Domestic Violence  and Sexual violence  reduction  strategies.  She  provides  initial  assessment for  new clients  as  well  as  managing  the  volunteer  recruitment  and  training process. At RASA, currently there are around 30 volunteers and 34 staff members, across Liverpool, Sefton, and Wirral. 

Over the last 12 months, there have been numerous developments at RASA. A new building has been secured in Bootle, so the current site will be expanded upon, offering more space for clients, staff, volunteers and also for the RASA education service. 

There are plans in place for expansion at Wirral at present too. One big improvement over the last year has been the waiting list at RASA. A year ago,  adult  clients  were  waiting  around  12-18  months  for  counselling support.  Since  February  2023,  this  waiting  list  has  been  dramatically reduced to 8-12 weeks. 

The counselling service at RASA consists of very highly skilled and trained counsellors who are trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) amongst other modes of counselling. 

The counselling service is also able to offer a limited number of additional sessions  for  clients  with  more  complex  needs  who  require  a  longer therapeutic  input  from  the  service.  The  counselling  service  is  very specialised and is streamlined on issues of SV only, to make sure it is reaching and supporting the people it sets out to help. 

Over the last 12 months, there have been huge developments in regard to issues with Merseyside Police. 120 out of 280 cases have now been reopened, which is a massive achievement,  thanks  to  the  hard work and determination of Lorraine and staff at RASA. She had meetings  with  Keir  Starmer  and Police and Crime Commissioner in order  to  be  able  to  achieve  this. Alongside Merseyside Police, there by Unknown Author is licensed under are now ISVA clinics being held as monthly meetings with senior police officers. 

A further development Lorraine has overseen this year means that RASA also provides lived experience workshops for clients.

## **Job Title: Liverpool and North Sefton ISVA** 

## **Centre(s): Stella Nova Bootle & Southport outreach.** 

**Summary  of  day-to-day role:** Independent  Sexual Violence  Advisor. Supporting clients through the criminal justice system who have reported or  are  considering  whether  to  report  to  the  police.  Offering  impartial practical and emotional support, being client-led, and ensuring clients are aware of their rights and choices within the criminal justice system. 

This has been a hugely busy year with an increase in police partnership working and collaboration, as well as additional training  responsibilities,  including  delivering  training  to  the latest cohort of Specially Trained Officers at Merseyside Police Training Academy and the Witness Care Unit. 

Being able to advocate effectively for my clients within the criminal justice system and communicate well with the police has always been challenging since starting this role but felt particularly difficult  during  the  past  year.  As  a  professional  who  juggles  a  busy caseload of clients, often in high-risk or high-need circumstances, I can appreciate how stretched the police are. However, earlier on this year there were some difficult, yet preventable, incidents that arose due to poor communication which have adversely affected my clients. 

To address this, the ISVA Service Manager set up a formal feedback form for the ISVA team to complete weekly, highlighting issues to be passed on and fed back to officers. This was facilitated after several meetings set up to discuss how we can effectively work alongside the police and exploring potential barriers to this. The feedback form also offers the opportunity for us to highlight good practice from the police which is a great way to deliver positive feedback to officers who go above and beyond for our clients. 

We have set up regular ISVA Clinics across Merseyside in which ISVAs will meet with the officers in  charge  of  their  cases  to  discuss  any  issues, highlight good practice, and explore difficulties. Since attending  these  clinics,  I  have  noticed  a  definite improvement in partnership working between ISVAs and  the  police  which  not  only  creates  more  open

working relationships, but also helps improve the client experience of the criminal justice process. 

I continue to find that most clients engage well and want to continue receiving support as their case progresses. The majority of my caseload opt for regular sessions, most commonly on a three-weekly basis. The two supplementary support services, our Reducing Anxiety, Depression and Stress support group and Listening Ear Service are hugely beneficial for clients who feel they benefit from more frequent support. 

Clients I referred spoke about appreciating additional support as these services are supplementary to my ISVA support, and this has also reduced the pressure my busy caseload. The combination of monthly supervision, line management,  and  ISVA  self-care meetings  have  been  hugely beneficial to me continuing to manage my workload and develop good habits, whilst also providing an opportunity to spend time with my new colleagues and feel anchored in the team. 

My hope for the next year is that there will be further improvement in communication with the police to have better outcomes for our clients who  have  taken  on  the  huge  undertaking  of  supporting  a  police investigation  in  the  midst  of  their  trauma.  I  am  feeling  positive  and hopeful  about  strengthening  partnership  working  between  ISVAs  and Merseyside Police. 

## **Court** 

11 of my clients cases have been due for court trial this last year – only 3 opted to do a Section 28 (pre-recorded questioning): 

- 2 trials were postponed for covid reasons. (Now due to go ahead April 2023).

In April 2022 I completed the Level 2 course for  EMDR  (Eye  Movement  Desensitisation and  Reprocessing)  Therapy.   I  feel  very grateful to have had the opportunity to do this  training  because  it  has  had  such  a dramatic impact on clients. 

I have attended some really useful training sessions this year including non-fatal strangulation, stalking masterclass, and challenging the far right.  All of these have been beneficial to client work. 

Challenging the far right was actually a train the trainer course so I will be delivering this to all of our staff and volunteers next year. 

I delivered 2 workshops as part of the Liverpool Parenting Network around Understanding Child Sexual Abuse.  It was part of a pilot offering evening workshops for parents and carers in Liverpool.  Somehow the details were circulated  far  and  wide  and  we  had  participants  from  the  USA  and Australia which enriched the sessions. 

I  delivered  4  workshops  as  part  of  the  training  offer  for  the  Wirral Safeguarding  Children  Partnership  in  relation  to  understanding  child sexual abuse and there was a total of 56 participants.  The feedback was positive, and many people commented that they felt more confident about the subject. 


The helpline ended in May 2022, which was sad but also the right decision.  I had started volunteering on  the  helpline  17  yrs  ago  and  it  was  quite remarkable to reflect on how much we have grown as an organisation.  The fact that we have been able to  signpost  clients  to  the  National  helpline  has helped and it’s open 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. 

It’s been nice to attend some face-to-face meetings this year even though the online meetings are more time efficient.  One interesting example is

the training in relation to suicide prevention.  It appears that there are more of our clients disclosing risk of suicide but there is lots of support available now and this is something that we continue to monitor. 

We have developed sound working relationships  with  many  of  our  partner agencies, particularly with Campaneros crisis café and Spider project.  They have been such an invaluable resource for our clients. We have developed a wide range of therapeutic support for clients and have confidence that if people are ready to work through  their  trauma,  we  are  ready  to support them. 


I continue to feel very blessed to be a part of RASA and gain so much working with such an eclectic mix of woman with a wealth of experience, passion for the work and who are good fun too!

## **– End of Year Report Ally Cavanagh** 

## **Liverpool ISVA** _**Case load: 53**_ 

This year at RASA has been another one of big changes and adjustments. As a part of the ISVA team, which is still expanding and adapting to new challenges, we haven’t been short of work. We have welcomed again new staff members, including new volunteers for the listening ear service and two new part time assessment officers and staged support workers to help with our ever-growing workloads. I am excited to see how these new team members continue to develop in their roles and as a part of this wonderful team! 

Going into my third year as Liverpool ISVA, I can say with confidence that my experience and ability is ever growing and changing. I am proud of what I have been able to achieve on behalf of my clients this year. This has included keeping clients engaged through some extremely  difficult  and  lengthy  investigations  as  well  as exceedingly tough court proceedings. Requests for appointments are more frequent than ever, meaning that most  clients  will  opt  in  for  the  fortnightly  appointments where available; compared to initially when a good number of clients would be using monthly plus check ins etc. 

Intensity of workload has reflected this as appointments are crammed in amongst  additional  duties  such  as  multi  agency  meetings,  numerous emails, supporting letters, police meetings and safeguarding, to name a few. 

On a positive note, an important change has been taking place in both police forces and CPS where open communication between myself and other professionals is becoming easier and easier, making this role more effective.

## **RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023** 


In relation  to the  above, Id first like  to talk  about the court process. Coming away from the COVID 19 pandemic, many of my clients have been long-term  and  suffering  through  long  waits  to  have  investigations completed and receive a court date. At one stage it was becoming clear that the client experience at court was suffering, and court dates were being postponed and adjourned without prior assessment of the seriousness of the crime and vulnerability of the victim. We now have a solid  pathway  for  addressing  issues,  utilising  a  new  relationship  with Senior Prosecutor for RASSO cases Josephine Lazzari. I myself have linked in with Jo on a number of occasions, and she has been instrumental in addressing a number of issues experienced at court. 


In one particularly complex case, where a defendant was attempting to evade court consistently, I was able to arrange a meeting between the client and Jo to raise concerns and give the client a voice. 

This  led  a  chain  of  events  where  the  defendant  was taken into custody prior to the third court date to ensure his attendance. 

Ultimately, this defendant was sentenced to 21 years which may not have happened without both my and Jo’s intervention. 

This was a high point in my career, and I have been extremely proud of myself and  my  client.  This  has  also  needed strenuous  linking  in with Witness Care, who have also been instrumental. At this stage, going to court is mostly seamless. As an ISVA I feel my role is fully understood by most court staff, and my engagement with the process alongside  the client is often encouraged and supported; this includes within Section 28 hearings which used to be difficult to have access to as an ISVA. 

Second  to  this,  our  relationships  with  Merseyside  Police  have  also improved. An important element of this has been with new police clinics which ISVAs attend on a 6-weekly basis. These clinics allow us to send our caseloads over in advance and get face to face updates from the officers in charge of our cases. Aside from allowing more thorough updates, I feel this has helped to bridge gaps in relationships by allowing us to connect on a better level with police rather than over email. The clinics are still in their  early  stages, and we  have  had  to  make  some  tweaks, however response has been generally positive and helpful.

## **RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023** 


Aside from the listening ear service, we have also been able to restart our ISVA RADS (Reducing Anxiety) groups. I had my colleague, Nadia, shadow me in the last round of groups. This will hopefully allow more groups to take  place  as  it  will  not  be  relying  solely  on  my  availability  (which dwindles quickly!). The last round of groups took place in March, and response was very positive. Clients gave feedback that the groups had generated positive changes that they hadn’t previously experience, and all members enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and ability to switch off for six hours over three weeks. Im hopeful that these groups continue well into the coming years. 

Another  additional  role  I  continue  to  enjoy  is  the  Nighttime  Economy training. We have trained a number of new venues in the city centre and have also begun some police training seminars around the same issue. This training focuses on officers identifying victims and potential perpetrators in the city centre and dealing appropriately with disclosures. The response has been very positive. As an exciting development, we have  also  been  asked  to  provide  this  training  to  staff  working  the upcoming Eurovision event, which is fantastic! 

Going  into  the  next  year,  I  know  the  team  will  continue  to  grow  in experience and ability and meet all of the upcoming challenges. With the support  of  the  team,  management,  and  colleagues,  I  am  extremely excited for what is to come for RASA in coming months.

The ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence  Advisor)  service  at  RASA, supports  anyone  age  18+  who  are survivors of sexual violence, who are/are considering going through the criminal justice system (CJS). The service is managed and run by Sarah Tipton. 

Clients are supported from their initial assessment through to the end of the CJS process. ISVAs have regular contact and sessions with the people accessing this service, to offer ongoing support through a very difficult and stressful time.

Alongside the ISVA service is a Listening Ear service, which supplements the support given by ISVAs for those clients who may require a bit of extra support. Currently, the Listening Ear service is provided to clients by 3 volunteers (soon to be 4) and offers 8 consecutive week sessions focusing on  the  client’s  individual  needs  for  emotional  support  and/or  coping strategies. 


This can be delivered 1-2-1 but there is also a Listening Ear group run by one of the volunteers, which offers psychoeducation and an opportunity for survivors  to  connect  with  other  people going through similar challenges. This is run in a 6-week block and is offered in person  or  online  depending  on  client availability and preference. 

The  ISVA  service  also  offers  a  RADS  (Reducing  Anxiety  Depression  & Stress) group, which provides similar coping strategies but uses relaxation techniques  at  the  same  time.  This  group  is  not  counselling,  but  it  is delivered by staff members who are qualified counsellors, so they have the right skills to deliver the relaxation techniques used. 

Currently, the ISVA service has 2 ISVA Assessment Officers in place. These staff members deal with the incoming referrals, assessing the clients in terms of their needs and safety, then they provide the initial stages of support for clients before passing them on to an ISVA. If there are any high needs or high risks for the client, they are prioritised for assessment as soon as possible, then passed straight to an ISVA so as the service can address those needs. 

The  ISVA  team  work  alongside  other  agencies and  individuals,  such  as  Police,  CPS  (Crown Prosecution Service), Witness Care, Witness Service and any other service involved with the CJS. 

Over the past 12-18 months, there has been a particular focus from government on issues regarding the CJS and sexual violence cases. 

Ongoing research projects have assisted with developing new guidance and consequent procedures being put in place. In Merseyside Police, we now have more established SPOCs (Single Points of Contact) who we can communicate with and develop our partnership work.

Amongst other things, one of the issues raised with Merseyside Police was about  RASA  receiving  reports  from  clients  about  police  officers  being judgmental  and  that  they  have  been  discouraged  from  reporting  or continuing to report the abuse they’ve suffered. This is still a problem we occasionally hear about and there are ongoing challenges for Merseyside Police  in  developing  their  practice.  Hopefully  with  time  and  the  new procedures and guidance in place, this will not continue to be a presenting issue. 

After conducting a recent survey with clients, currently around 50% of those reporting sexual violence offences to Merseyside Police, feel their overall  experience  has  been  positive.  The  ISVAs  are  optimistic  this percentage will continue to increase. 

RASA  provides  support  to  people  living  across  Liverpool,  Sefton,  and Wirral. In relation to the ISVA support, if a client’s case is approved for court, a large percentage of these will be heard at Liverpool Crown Court.

Before the pandemic, Liverpool Crown Court was one of the pilot courts to have already been using the special measure of a Section 28, which is a prerecorded  cross  examination.  This  has  now  been rolled out nationally and has helped many survivors  going through  the CJS, as they do not have to be questioned at the court trial. 

This can help to lessen anxiety and usually survivors can do this a number of months before a trial, so their part in giving the rest of their evidence is completed sooner. 

The ISVA team are very supportive towards one another and work well collaboratively. Their passion and commitment to their role in supporting survivors, is key to the service running at optimal levels with the number of staff and volunteers they have. They have high service standards and regularly review how they can continue to deliver this level of service with any challenges they face and any presenting client needs.

transition  into  the  next  support.  The  work  completed  during  CHISVA support sessions has provided the safe space for clients to  feel comfortable to be able to share their thoughts and feelings. They have felt listened to and that their feelings have been validated. This has laid the foundations for clients to move on to counselling – after establishing trust and feeling ready to engage in this therapeutic process. 

I feel that a calm, supportive approach, and respect given to clients and allowing for them to go at their own pace has allowed some clients who have really struggled to engage due to lack of trust in other services, to start to feel that they are supported and are able to break down some of those barriers to communication. 


A number of conversations I had with the safeguarding lead at a primary school of a client I am supporting – gave me feedback to say that the conversations we had and the information I provided were invaluable to him and he was extremely grateful of my knowledge that I was able to share to better equipped him to carry out his role. 

He  was  due  to  have  a  meeting  with  some  parents  from  school  and informed me that he would not have been able to do so, so effectively without my input. This highlights the huge benefits of working with other professionals- and how, not only is our work vital with our clients- but also to the other professionals that are working with them. 

A multi-professional  approach  – helping  to support  and safeguard  the children that we are working with. 

## **Challenges I have found within my role this year: -** 

Room availability has been difficult at times – as I have found it frustrating if I have had availability to book a client in – but there are no rooms available. This has led me to changing my booking appts process- as I now book a number of sessions in advance for CHISVA clients – rather than booking one at a time – so this has worked much better. I have found ways to adapt to the challenges to reduce impact to clients.

The  sunflower  children’s  and  young  people’s  service  provides  a  wide range of support for young survivors of sexual abuse/violence and their families/ carers. The sunflowers service is run and managed by Janet Bunn and is supported by other staff members. There are currently 3 CHISVAs – 1 full time and 2 part time, covering Liverpool, Sefton, and Wirral. 

CHISVAs are Children’s Independent Sexual Violence Advisors and help and support young people and their families/carers to navigate the CJS (Criminal Justice System). 

They support from the initial assessment right through to the end of the CJS process. They are also able to offer counselling and further sessions afterwards  as  well.  The  CHISVA  service  does  not  have  a  waiting  list, meaning children and young people can get support from the service straight away, without delay. 

In the last 12 months, the number of support sessions for children and young people has been increased. There are now 3 live sessions a month which last an hour each and bookings are made in advance for these. In addition, there are once monthly sessions run by the sunflowers manager for caregivers to help them to support their child / young person. 

There is also a psychoeducation session run once a month by one of the team members to support young people and also there is a “life hacks for wellbeing” session run once monthly to support and provide self-care tips for teenagers who have gone through sexual violence/abuse. 


There  is  also  an  online  self  -study course for caregivers to enable them to have better skills and strategies to support the young person and this is a multi-agency approach, with input from  RASA  staff,  RASASC  staff  and clinical psychology from the Rainbow Centre at Alder Hey Children’s 

## Hospital. 

The sunflower service offers counselling for children from age 6 up to age 18 years. It also offers support for children under 6 years old but in this case the work is done with the caregiver for them to then support the child, due to the very young age of the child. The therapy is tailored to the child’s needs and follows a trauma-informed care approach. 

Recruitment is in place for a power project worker. This is an outreach role where children and young people are supported who are finding it difficult to engage in services. Psychoeducation, as well as emotional support and

therapy is offered, and this service is delivered across Liverpool, Sefton, and Wirral. The sunflower service also links in with the Parents Protect service run by RASA. 


## **Year End Report April 2022- April 2023 Rachael Crowder Children’s ISVA** 

New skills/qualifications I have acquired in this year. 

I have completed my level 2 in counselling within RASA Education and have recently started my ISVA development course -training with Lime culture which is online every month and runs up until the end of July 2023. 

I also have started to fully immerse myself into the children’s ISVA role supporting  my  colleague  with  having  face  to  face  clients  and  also telephone sessions. I have built up a case load of 30 clients and have maintained clients for a number of sessions in Sefton and Liverpool area. 

I  have  attended  my  first  TAF  (Team  around  the  Family)  meetings  in schools with other agencies which has improved my communication skills and general team working abilities. 

In addition to this having regular contact with other agencies day to day as  part  of  the  new  ISVA  role  I  am  currently  in  has  triggered  lots  of progression personally and professionally. 

## **My knowledge and development this year** 

When I first started at RASA I attended the Rainbow centre at Alder Hey. I was not aware of its existence so having that opportunity has been very

## **RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023** 


insightful and helps me transfer that knowledge when supporting ISVA clients/ assessment. 

I have completed a lot of zoom training for specific areas such as suicide prevention, mental health, domestic violence, graded care profile 2 to name  a  few.  In  person  we  had  cyber  awareness  demonstrated  by Merseyside police which was very helpful to have the information given in person. 

## **Multi-agency networking events I have attended in this year.** 

I attended a TAF meeting on behalf of an ISVA client within her high school- this was very insightful and helped me gather information around the client from other agencies- it was helpful to have the first experience so that I now have that to prepare me for future meetings and how best to prepare. 

I have attended team meetings online with social worker, parent and other agencies that are working with the family as part of child protection. 

Again, this is brilliant to enable me to build up my professional confidence and also have the valuable experience to put into practice in future multi agency meetings. 


## **Things that have gone well this year** 

I have had the pleasure of supporting a young person make his report to the police over the phone which was very much a new experience for myself and opened my eyes up to my own areas needed for development but also instilled more self confidence that I have had a positive impact on the client and gave them a safe supported environment to enable them to make that decision and make that first step. 

I have attended a number of events outside of RASA building on my own whereby  other  agencies  are  there  –  this  has  helped  me  feel  more empowered within my role and I have gained a number of transferrable skills. 

I have seen a shift in clients who have consistently come back to sessions which is rewarding to see them engaging and also noticing a change in themselves.

## **RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023** 


Being able to have a room in Southport on a Wednesday has been brilliant so that I can see Sefton based clients with a guaranteed free day to book them in there consistently. 

Overall creating that first sense of safety and support for the survivor or the  relative  whom  I  am  on  the  telephone  assessment  with  as  it  is sometimes their first time they have spoken to someone and are feeling very vulnerable. I like to think I am building up a good rapport to start the process of the support and help the parent or guardian or client all feel listened to and valued. 

## **Challenges this year.** 

Self- confidence- as this can hinder a number of things; especially given I transferred over to the ISVA role without the initial training which was a great way to learn. 

Maintaining the organisation from being assessment officer to ISVA and ensuring everyone is contacted in time and booked in – especially given that everyone will respond at different times and there is a constant limit on room bookings in Bootle.

Young  People  course,  which  was  very  useful  in  consolidating the experience  I  have  already  gained  and  provide  me  with  some  new knowledge and skills. 

## **Knowledge development** 

Both  training  courses  mentioned  above  have  been  invaluable  in  the development  of  my  knowledge  and  I  have  also  continued  to  attend training  for  professionals  provided  by  the  local  council  safeguarding teams, such as LSCP (Liverpool), SSCP (Sefton) and WSCP (Wirral). 

## **Multi-agency networking events attended.** 

One of the highlights of the last year for me was attending “The Big Learn”, hosted by the Wirral Safeguarding Children Partnership, at the Flora Pavilion in New Brighton. This was a two-day event wherein any and all services that work with children and young people on the Wirral had stalls and were able to network with each other, as well as attending talks provided by different professionals. 

## **Things that have gone well** 

I have continued to see positive outcomes with clients who have provided lovely feedback at times, which has boosted my confidence further in my practice. Particularly rewarding has been some outcomes with clients with whom I felt unsure as to whether they were feeling any benefit from the sessions, to then find at their conclusion that they had been. 

_“RASA has helped me with my anxiety about going places and has made me less fearful to open up about the incident. The support has also helped me to understand my feelings are valid too.”_ 

_“Katie was amazing and always listened to me and helped me through my struggles and she does an amazing job.”_ 

One of the best pieces of feedback I received this year has been from a parent, after their daughters’ sessions concluded: 

_“I  just  want  to  thank  you  so  much  for  your  genuine  care  and  the invaluable support that you have given to [client]. We both know that this has helped her in so many ways to be more aware with increased selfconfidence and self-esteem. Thank you so much.”_

## **RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023** 


I have really  appreciated again the  opportunities  provided  for gaining knowledge  and  qualifications,  and  the  increased  number  of  self-care occasions. 

## **Challenges within your role** 

In recent months there has been an increase in the number of clients and professionals  asking  or  hoping  for  EMDR  therapy  to  be  part  of  their treatment at RASA. Whilst I am confident in the sufficiency of personcentred counselling to be of service to clients at RASA, my being unable to deliver  EMDR  has  felt  like  a  deficiency  at  times.  I  intend  to  seek accreditation  with  the  BACP  so  that  I  may  then  be  able  to  acquire qualification in this technique.
