What happens next?

When we receive a call about persistent and serious anti-social behaviour, our first stage is to talk the problem through with you - in the strictest confidence.

After we understand the problem fully we will discuss some of the actions that can be taken to solve the problem

Types of action include:

Setting up mediation sessions
Putting in place an activity that diverts those committing anti-social
behaviour to another task
Using acceptable behaviour contracts to deter the person(s) from persisting with their activities
Using anti-social behaviour orders to prevent the person(s) from persisting with their activities

Persistent verbal abuse or threats
Assault or physical violence
Racial or homophobic harassment
Damage to property
Vandalism near your home

Remember

Calling the Anti-Social Behaviour Team allows you to speak to someone about persistent anti-social behaviour.

However, in an immediate emergency call 999.

Remember the four Ws

When reporting problems or incidents remember the 4 Ws and clearly state:

What you saw: try to remember exactly what you saw
Where you saw it: detail where the incident took place
When you saw it: make a note of the time and day
Who you saw: make a note of the name of the person(s) involved or try and remember as much as you can about the person(s) you have seen such as age, clothing etc

Diaries can be provided for your use by the Anti-Social Behaviour Team
