Target Hardening (Sanctuary Scheme)

What the buyer says

A Sanctuary Scheme is a multi-agency, survivor-centred initiative which aims to enable households at risk of violence to remain safely in their own homes by installing a 'Sanctuary' in the home and through the provision of support to the household. This is sometimes referred to as "target hardening". The Target Hardening Property Scheme for Worcestershire is being commissioned in conjunction with all six District Councils (Bromsgrove, Malvern Hills, Redditch, Worcester City, Wychavon & Wyre Forest) in Worcestershire. The intention is to create a single, high quality, responsive commissioned service across the County to provide Target Hardening to various levels within existing accommodation to enable survivors of Domestic Abuse to remain in their own homes. Sanctuary Schemes are referred to in the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, which places a strong emphasis on supporting survivors of domestic abuse and their children within safe accommodation.
