About this service

The Sanctuary Scheme is a programme run in partnership between the City of London Corporation, housing providers and domestic abuse organisations. It provides practical security enhancements — such as reinforced doors, window locks, alarms and panic buttons — to help people who have experienced domestic abuse stay safely in their home if that is their wish. The scheme is an alternative to fleeing, and is available to owner-occupiers, private renters and social housing tenants.
