Sanctuary Scheme

Additional information

the Sanctuary Scheme co-ordinator will monitor the effectiveness of measures after three months and again after six months
safety equipment will be removed if it is assessed that it is no longer required, however other works done will be left once installed
safety measures will only be installed at a property once the scheme has confirmation that the applicant has the right to occupy that address and has permission from the owner of that property
properties with Sanctuary Scheme measures will be flagged with the emergency services as 'at risk' - this means that if a 999 call is made from a property, the emergency service operator can see that Sanctuary measures have been installed and will respond appropriately; if the level of risk reduces, these flags will be reviewed and removed
