Dates: Monday 29 June - Sunday 5 July

Organised by Resolve, the UK’s leading community safety organisation, ASB Awareness Week is the national campaign bringing together housing, policing, local government, charities and community partners to shine a spotlight on ASB, strengthen local responses, and amplify the rights of victims.

Your role in ASB Awareness Week

To make the 2026 campaign as impactful as possible, we invite all partners to join us in raising awareness, sharing best practice, and amplifying the rights and options available to victims.

To support your action, a media pack will be available below soon.

“We are pleased to be driving a focus on the collaborative work done in the community safety sector, whilst making timely policy recommendations to improve outcomes for victims and communities.

The latest data on ASB shows that, despite the severe harm ASB can cause to victims and communities, even fewer people are reporting ASB than in previous years. Many victims don't know how to report ASB, whilst others would be more likely to report ASB if they could do so anonymously.

These key findings, along with others, have informed our six policy recommendations for 2026. The full report will be available on 29 June, but the message remains clear:

ASB remains a deeply damaging issue affecting communities across the UK, and we must do better when it comes to supporting victims."

- Rebecca Bryant OBE, CEO of Resolve

Resolve's Policy Recommendations

Universal support for victims of ASB

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.

Address delays in the civil justice system

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.

A national information sharing agreement

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.

remove barriers to reporting ASB

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.

More early intervention and prevention

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.

Direct Funding for Community Safety Partnerships

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.
