ASB Awareness Week 2026

Victims of ASB currently face a postcode lottery when it comes to accessing support, with services, support and outcomes varying significantly depending on where people live.

Resolve is calling for guaranteed universal support for victims of ASB - including timely advice, advocacy and specialist assistance - so that every victim receives consistent support and protection regardless of their location or local agency capacity.

Delays within the civil justice system are leaving victims of ASB waiting months - and in some cases years - for action to be taken.

Resolve is calling for the creation of a specialist housing court to streamline housing and ASB cases, improve consistency in decision-making and ensure that victims, landlords and communities can access faster, more effective justice and resolution.

Too often, vital information about anti-social behaviour is not shared effectively between councils, police forces, housing providers and other agencies, leading to delays, duplication and missed opportunities to protect victims.

Resolve is calling for one single national information sharing agreement to provide clarity, consistency and confidence for frontline organisations, enabling faster action and better outcomes for communities.

Too many victims of anti-social behaviour still face confusing, inconsistent and inaccessible reporting systems, leading many people not to report incidents at all.

Resolve is calling for a standardised, nationally recognised way to report ASB - including clearer reporting routes, anonymous reporting options and improved coordination between agencies - to ensure victims can access support quickly, safely and consistently wherever they live.

Too often, agencies are forced to respond to ASB  only after problems have escalated and significant harm has already been caused to victims and communities.

Resolve is calling for increased funding for early intervention and prevention, enabling local agencies and community safety partnerships to identify risks sooner, support vulnerable individuals earlier and prevent persistent ASB before it becomes more serious and costly to address.

Community Safety Partnerships are uniquely placed to understand the specific challenges facing their local areas and coordinate effective multi-agency responses to ASB.

Resolve is calling for direct funding for Community Safety Partnerships, ensuring resources reach local frontline organisations that can deliver earlier intervention, stronger partnership working and more effective long-term outcomes for communities.
