Antisocial behaviour and crime policies

 

These policies explain how we will respond to reports of antisocial behaviour, hate crime or domestic abuse.

They outline the actions we can take and what support or advice we can give, including where you may be able to resolve some things yourself.

They also explain how we work with partners, like the police and local authorities, to keep communities safe.

  • Antisocial Behaviour (ASB) policy

    We respond quickly to ASB because we believe everyone should feel secure and comfortable at home.

    Our policy explains how we will manage reports of ASB.

    It also shows our commitment to preventing ASB, taking action, and supporting those affected.

  • Domestic Abuse policy

    We believe no one should live in fear of harm, abuse or control from someone close to them.

    Our policy places the safety and wellbeing of survivors at the centre, using a trauma-informed approach to recognise and respond to abuse sensitively and effectively.

    It sets out how we will listen, assist, and act,  including through confidential reporting routes, clear risk assessments, and partnership working with specialist agencies and local authorities.

  • Hate Crimes policy

    We aim to build welcoming neighbourhoods where no one faces abuse because of their identity – that’s why we do not tolerate hate in any form.

    Our policy outlines how we define, prevent, and handle hate-related incidents and crimes.

    It also shows how we work with others to hold perpetrators accountable, support victims, and keep our communities safe.

  • Supporting Good Neighbourhoods policy

    This policy is designed to work alongside our ASB policy.

    It has been developed to help manage issues between neighbours.

    It also explains when we may direct you to this guidance instead of our ASB policy.
