Anti-social Behaviour Policy 2025-2028

Introduction

This policy sets out our view of what Anti-social Behaviour (ASB) is, what our service standards are and what we want our services to achieve for victims and witnesses of ASB. In particular, the aims of this policy set out how the Community Safety Team will deal with ASB by:

  • Taking effective action to deal with severe and/or persistent ASB

  • Encouraging residents to report ASB by promoting a victim-focused service

  • Set realistic expectations in relation to how the Community Safety Team can deal with ASB and what types of ASB the team will deal with

  • Provide support and advice to victims of ASB including identification of any safeguarding needs

  • Ensure a partnership approach is taken to tackle ASB

This process is designed to be flexible and proportionate, to enable officers to manage cases in an appropriate way, reflecting the needs of those involved while protecting witnesses and finding a suitable resolution.
