We are supporting antisocial behaviour awareness week
Next week, 3 to 9 July is antisocial behaviour awareness week.
Our experience has shown us that working with partners is essential to reduce antisocial behaviour and make people feel safer and more secure.
We work closely with agencies and partnerships, like the police, Sunderland City Council, Wearside Women in Need, ManKind, and the Safer Sunderland Partnership. This allows us to develop a shared understanding of responsibilities with one another.
Within our Community Safety Team we have a number of Community Safety Officers, who will help in any way they can. They provide unbiased, non-judgemental support for as long as tenants need it. They will:
- reassure communities
- take part in projects to reduce crime and disorder in a particular area
- respond to specific problems affecting a neighbourhood
To show our support and raise awareness of the national awareness week we have organised a number of estate walkabouts. The details of each walkabout are listed below:
