Sanctuary Scheme

Our Sanctuary scheme is intended to provide security to women, children and men who may be experiencing domestic abuse. The scheme is designed to provide a speedy response through the installation of enhanced security measures such as replacement locks, window shock alarms and metal kicks plates to exterior doors and other relevant measures to vulnerable areas of a property in an attempt to prevent unwanted and/or forced entry. The additional security measures mean that some victims have the option of remaining in their own homes. Click on the link here for more information about the Sanctuary Scheme
