Stay Put, Stay Safe Scheme

The "Stay Put, Stay Safe" scheme is for people at risk of homelessness because of domestic violence. Under the scheme the council will install a number of measures to secure your home and improve your personal security.

The scheme is voluntary and open to; council tenants, private sector tenants (landlords' consent is required to fit additional security), owner-occupiers and housing association tenants.

The service can offer:

  • a simple change of lock
  • fitting of a heavy-duty door; and
  • a safe room.
