The primary aim of a ‘Sanctuary Scheme’ is to increase the housing options available to victims of domestic violence. The Sanctuary Scheme is a victim centered initiative which aims to make it possible for victims of domestic violence to remain in their homes and feel safe.
It provides professionally installed security measures to allow those experiencing domestic violence to remain in their own accommodation where it is safe for them to do so, where it is their choice and where the perpetrator no longer lives within the accommodation. This joint LGA and Communities and Local Government guidance aims to help local authorities and other key stakeholders set up and run effective schemes designed to help victims of domestic violence.
