ICV Resources
ICVA are excited to welcome you all to the ICV Resources page. On this new page, you will find links to our ‘straight to ICV’ Bitesize training modules, all of which have been recorded for you to undertake at home with all the links you need for any additional reading. We also have briefings on a whole host of topics, guidance and additional resources from other bodies to support you during your visits to custody.
We really hope you enjoy using these resources. Unfortunately, ICVA do not have the capacity to respond to individual feedback. If you have any feedback or questions, please contact your Scheme Manager directly.
