Sanctuary Scheme

The SAFER Scheme is a new preventative service which will enable victims and survivors of domestic abuse to remain in their own home, where it is safe to do so and where the perpetrator does not live. The SAFER Scheme aims to improve safety, improve health, well-being, and prevent harm. The vision for the service is to provide and install approved property security measures to survivors of domestic abuse (adults and children), once the property has been adapted the household will be defined as residing in safe accommodation’ and will be in line with the new statutory duties introduced by the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.
