Welcome to ASB Awareness Week!
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Awareness Week 2023 runs from Monday 3rd July until Sunday 9th July.
At South Essex Homes, we recognise the negative impact ASB can have on a person and/or community.
If not properly addressed, ASB can significantly impact the quality of life of those affected, which is why we are committed to preventing and tackling such behaviour.
Throughout this week we will be publishing a series of articles which will cover a range of aspects of ASB and how to deal with it, including what South Essex Homes will and will not investigate, and what your rights are.
Let’s kick the week off by defining what is classed as ASB.
Definition of ASB:
- Conduct that has caused, or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any person.
- Conduct capable of causing nuisance or annoyance to a person in relation to that person's occupation of residential premises.
- Conduct capable of causing housing related nuisance or annoyance to any person.
In practice, South Essex Homes will exercise judgement in deciding what amounts to ASB in individual cases, in line with our ASB Policy.
