Bradford Specialist Sexual Violence and Abuse Advisory Group 2009 - 2014

BSSVAAG was a pilot project to create an innovative and action-focused joint working forum - led by the specialist sexual violence sector in Bradford. It acted as a template for the development of West Yorkshire Sexual Violence Action Partnership (WYSVAP). BSSVAAG operated for over 5 years and ran a number of conferences whilst collaboratively creating a signposting website for West Yorkshire - called the Matrix.

Its series of conferences ran at The University of Bradford between 2011 and 2014 looking at a range of issues, from male survivors, to the future of specialist service provision and collaborative working within an evolving specialist sector environment.

You can access the male conference - Invisible Boys and Men here.
