Service Description:
Safe Partnership are the provider of Safe Rooms and Sanctuary installations within Gloucestershire. A Sanctuary/ safe room’s primary aim is to protect victims of domestic abuse and high risk stalking, by installing appropriate security measures to empower them with the choice of being able to remain in their homes and not having to break with their established local social roots.
General home security is enhanced by fitting extra locks and bolts on doors and windows. In addition, if the risk assessment dictates, a Sanctuary Safe Room can be installed providing the individual or family with a place of safety from where they can call for help and wait for the arrival of the emergency services.
Victims we are able to offer support to:
Sanctuary rooms are offered on a case by case basis and often as a last resort when other safety measures have been put in place. A Sanctuary room can only be authorised once an appropriate risk assessment has taken place and the threshold has been met to warrant its installation.
