24 Hour Domestic Violence Help-line

 'In recognition that many households become homeless as a result of domestic violence, the Department of Communities and Local Government have made it a requirement for local authorities to develop services specifically to assist survivors of domestic abuse. 

Sanctuary Schemes have proven a successful measure in the prevention of homelessness as a result of Domestic violence nationwide. In 2006, Nottingham City Council gave approval to develop a pilot designed to test if this national model would be applicable to the residents of Nottingham City. 

This report evaluates the effectiveness of this pilot.
