Anti-social behaviour

Give respect, get respect

Everyone should be able to enjoy their home and to feel secure within their community.

We are committed to tackling anti-social behaviour and racial harassment through our anti-social behaviour policy which aims to:

1. Achieve a “Positive Impact on Communities” by promoting positive relationships in neighbourhoods;
2. Reduce the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour in communities by tackling such activity, and adopting a zero tolerance approach to abuse of tenants and staff alike;
3. Use timely and effective methods in preventing and tackling anti-social behaviour, including:
   • taking legal action
   • ensuring that appropriate resources are available to deal with this issue
   • support witnesses in their own homes
   • foster a culture where residents feel able to report anti-social behaviour to Amber Valley Housing;
4. Work with people and groups at risk of involvement in anti-social behaviour to provide support, mentoring and diversionary opportunities and to promote self-esteem;
5. Provide training to staff to assist in dealing effectively with anti-social behaviour, and to provide a service giving value for money;
6. Not treat anyone unfairly because of:
   • their race
   • colour
   • ethnic and national origin
   • nationality
   • gender
   • disability
   • religion
   • sexual orientation
   • marital status
   • HIV/Aids status
   • responsibility for dependants
