We sit down with Gordon Doudie, an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) for Doncaster Council. Drawing on his years of experience as a former police officer, Gordon offers a rare dual perspective on supporting survivors — from frontline response to long‑term advocacy.
Together, we explore the realities of domestic abuse, the challenges faced by those seeking safety, and the vital role IDVAs play in helping individuals rebuild their lives with dignity and support.
