Anti-Social Behaviour Policy and Procedure
Introduction
We believe you should be able to enjoy peace and quiet in your own home, feel safe and secure and not have to suffer the anti social activities of others.
Anti-social behaviour causes real misery for people who simply want to get on with their lives. It can range from serious acts of violence and harassment to more ‘everyday’ incidents like noise nuisance.
We have listened to our customers and we are aware that anti-social behaviour is a major area of concern for many of them and is the single most important issue affecting the enjoyment of their homes and surroundings.
This document outlines our policies and procedures for dealing with anti-social behaviour.
What is Anti Social Behaviour?
The term ‘anti-social behaviour’ includes a variety of behaviour covering a complex range of selfish and unacceptable activity that can blight the quality of community life.
There are different legal definitions to describe anti-social behaviour and nuisance depending on the type of action we intend to take to try to resolve the issue. However, the broad definition we use to determine anti-social behaviour is:-
“something that causes nuisance, annoyance, harassment, alarm or distress to one or more person/s not of the same household”
Examples of behaviour covered are:-
- Noise nuisance
- Intimidation and harassment
- Aggressive and threatening language and behaviour
- Hate behaviour
- Use of property to sell drugs or for other unlawful purposes
The following policy and procedures explain how anti-social behaviour is managed and dealt with by Sheffield Homes.
