🏠 Staying Safe at Home

If you are experiencing domestic abuse and want to remain in your home, there are steps you can take to increase your safety:

• Speak to your landlord – They are responsible for ensuring repairs are completed promptly and may be able to provide additional security measures.

• Council or Housing Association tenants – Your Tenancy Management Officer can offer support and refer you to specialist agencies.

• Extra security options – The council may provide additional safety measures through the Sanctuary Scheme

• Legal protection – You may be able to apply for court orders , such as injunctions or protection orders, to help keep you and your family safe.
