What is anti-social behaviour?
Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is defined as behaviour that has caused, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to another person.
Anti-social behaviour can take many forms. It can be a major cause of stress and anxiety and we are committed to supporting you if you are experiencing it.
We will always support you with the following types of anti-social behaviour:
- Verbal abuse
- Racial abuse
- Domestic abuse
- Violence and threats to life
- Noise nuisance (when it meets the threshold for intervention)
- Vandalism
- Drug dealing
- Arson
- Safeguarding concerns (welfare)
Unfortunately, there are some cases where there’s nothing we can do:
- Low-level noise nuisance (lifestyle)
- Parking disagreements
- Squabbles
- Cultural/lifestyle differences
Understanding anti-social behaviour
Our guide covers what ASB is, when we can and can’t help, how to deal with disruptive neighbours, and links to additional support.
We encourage you to use our evidence log (which you can find in the next section) to record instances of anti-social behaviour.
Recording evidence
Recording evidence of ASB is crucial in helping us to determine what’s happening in your case. It can also help us later on in the process, if your case needs to go to court.
If you can record evidence using this log, then please share it with us when you email us (see next section).
