We are excited to announce that Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council’s Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and Community Safety Teams have been awarded the ASB Pledge by the charity ASB Help.
ASB Help works with various partners, including local authorities and law enforcement to provide tailored support and raise awareness of the impact of anti-social behaviour on communities.
They provide guidance, advice and resources to individuals affected by ASB, helping them understand their rights and the steps they can take to address the issue.
The ASB Pledge seeks to encourage all agencies involved in the ASB Case Review process to embed best practice into their policy and procedures.
This helps ensure that any victim of persistent ASB (when the threshold is met), regardless of where they live, is truly given a voice, and that partners work together to secure a satisfactory resolution.
As part of this pledge, the Council has strengthened its case review process, providing more opportunities for individuals and communities to be heard and supported.
Cllr Tim Jenkins, Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Communities and Health, said:
“This is a great achievement for the Council and reflects the hard work and dedication of the community safety team.
"It highlights the Council’s commitment to tackling anti-social behaviour and ensuring a safer, more inclusive community for all.
“ASB Help is a great charity that provide a wealth of knowledge and support that enables us to provide top quality ASB support for our communities.”
