Article from 'The Independent' - 20 Feb 2008. "Attractive to an interesting clientele, from movie stars to footballers and politicians, Panic rooms are also used by some people as a vital defence against domestic violence." Panic rooms are likely to be made available to all women or men whose abusive partners no longer live with them and where the police deem it a 'safe and appropriate'option. Sanctuary schemes have been proven to prevent homelessness by giving people security and confidence to stay in their own home. Addresses with panic rooms or safe rooms will be flagged up on police computers to ensure a swift response in the event of a violent incident. Under the initiative, the panic rooms would only be set up at the request of the victim, and only if the violent partner no longer lived at the property.
