What is being bought

Published requirement description

This is a partnership initiative between the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council and the successful Sanctuary installation company. The project offers victims of VAWG the option to remain safely and securely in their homes, through the installation of free, tailored home security.

The LBTH Sanctuary Scheme has been funded by Homelessness Services each year since 2004 and has contributed effectively to safeguarding domestic violence survivors and their families.

Every Sanctuary installation is assessed individually and tailored to the safety needs and circumstances of the individual and property involved.

The overall aims of the service are to:

  • To provide increased security in the homes of VAWG victims and their families so they can remain living in their homes
  • The Sanctuary scheme prevents homelessness amongst VAWG victims and their families. It allows victims to feel safer and remain in their community.
  • The Sanctuary Scheme provides additional support to cases where there are no legal orders in place to prevent the perpetrators from attending the property or contacting the victim as often the case is victims are too scared to undertake any legal proceedings, or do not know where the perpetrator is in order to be able to serve legal notices.
  • The Sanctuary scheme is integral to child protection and safeguarding processes within this borough and actively seeks to increase the safety of victims
