Tools we use

We take all reports of anti-social behaviour seriously. We have a balanced approach to tackling anti-social behaviour and consider the effects it will have on the victims, witnesses and the community. Our team will try to resolve any problems by using a range of informal and formal methods and take action when appropriate. Eviction is always the last resort.

The range of tools and support methods we use are:

• Personal visits
• Joint visits with other agencies such as the Police and Environmental Health
• Mediation
• Referrals to other agencies such as Social Services, Environmental Health and health workers
• Verbal and written warnings
• Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs)
• Family Intervention Projects/Tenancies
• Parenting Contracts/Orders
• Anti-Social Behaviour Injunctions (ASBI)
• Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBO)
• Demotion Orders
• Undertakings
• Possession
