Tackling anti-social behaviour
We believe everyone has the right to live peacefully within their own home and community irrespective of colour, race, religion, ethnic origin, disability, nationality, gender, or sexual orientation. We are committed to working with other statutory and voluntary agencies to agree effective measures to prevent anti-social behaviour from occurring within our communities, to support vulnerable residents, to take firm and prompt action when anti social behaviour occurs and where necessary to rehabilitate perpetrators back within our communities.
We believe that tackling nuisance and anti social behaviour is a key part of delivering sustainable communities and improving the quality of life of our residents.
We are committed to taking a victim centred approach that provides effective support and protection for victims and witnesses of anti social behaviour.
We will take a 'tenure blind' approach to complaints of anti social behaviour and are committed to taking action, if necessary, against residents within our communities who are not tenants of the Association.
