People who would like their house or business designated as a Safety House can apply to their local Safety House Group. As part of our security, each person in the house or business aged 17 years or over is screened by the local Group and undergoes a police check. All information obtained is, of course, strictly confidential.
When prospective Safety Householders are interviewed, several factors need to be considered:
Does the house have a telephone?
Is someone normally at home during the times children are going to and from school?
Is there a dog on the premises?
Are there any other factors that may deter a child from approaching or entering the premises?
