• Respond to referrals, with an initial contact, within 2 working days and a suitable appointment to complete works within 7 days
• Provide victims with the knowledge to keep themselves safe and reduce the chance of repeat victimisation.
• Install (and fund where appropriate) physical security upgrades, where necessary, as a way of providing practical and emotional reassurance.
