Policy Statement
The purpose of this document is to inform tenants, leaseholders, stakeholders and the wider community of Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council’s Social Housing Policy when managing reports of anti-social behaviour (ASB) about its tenants and making clear the standards of behaviour expected from the Council’s tenants.
Where an owner occupier is causing ASB, we will provide appropriate advice and guidance which may include contacting the Police or another housing provider.
Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council is committed to ensuring that all residents enjoy their right to peace and security in their homes.
This policy sets out our commitment to meeting the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) Neighbourhood and Community Standard, which states required outcomes must:
- Work co-operatively with tenants, other landlords and relevant organisations to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of shared spaces.
- Co-operate with relevant partners to promote social environmental and economic wellbeing of residents.
- Work in partnership with appropriate professionals and relevant organisations to deter and tackle ASB and hate incidents within our communities.
- Work with other agencies to tackle domestic abuse and able residents to access appropriate support and advice.
