Say No to ASB
Campaign launch
Antisocial behaviour (ASB) incidents have increased over the last three years. Police forces, councils and housing associations are reporting significant spikes in ASB cases. These are not minor incidents. Instead, they are complex and serious cases causing real harm to many people.
45% of people say ASB is a problem where they live. 56% of those who had either been a victim of or a witness to ASB did not report it to anyone. *
To help tackle the issue, we are running a campaign encouraging people to ‘SAY NO TO ASB’.
The campaign will run from 25 October to 21 November on our social channels. There is key information on recognising, recording, reporting ASB on our website: ourwatch.org.uk/asb.
We are running a free online ‘SAY NO TO ASB’ webinar on 15 November at 5pm with the charity ASB Help as part of the campaign. Places are limited so to book your place, visit:
