Anti-social behaviour
Report anti-social behaviour
When you report anti-social behaviour, you will speak to different organisations depending on what you have experienced.
This may be:
- the police
- our anti-social behaviour officer
- a registered social landlord (housing association)
This page shows who you should contact and when.
You should also make a report if have already tried speaking to your neighbours or using mediation, but it has not worked.
You can also use community trigger if you have experienced anti-social behaviour many times.
Make a report
Select the heading that describes what you want to do:
If anti-social behaviour is happening now, you should call the police on:
- 999 if someone is in immediate danger or there is a situation that could become violent
- 101 if it is not an emergency
If the situation is not an emergency, you can also report anti-social behaviour to Thames Valley Police online.
If a social housing tenant is responsible for anti-social behaviour, you should contact their registered social landlord (RSL), also known as a housing association.
RSLs take the lead for cases of anti-social behaviour involving their tenants.
If you know that a person responsible for anti-social behaviour is a social housing tenant, you can find out which RSL to file a report with.
View the contact details for registered social landlords in Buckinghamshire.
If you do not know a person who is responsible for anti-social behaviour, or they own their home, you should contact:
- the police by telephone on 101
- report anti-social behaviour to us using the online referral form
If you are a professional agency such as, the Police and Social Housing providers or Environmental Health, you can refer ASB cases to the Council Community Safety Team for joint partnership working.
Community trigger for repeat victims of anti-social behaviour
If you have experienced anti-social behaviour time and time again, but you feel as if nobody is listening to you, you can use community trigger to ask us to review your case.
To use community trigger, you must have:
- made 3 reports of anti-social behaviour within the past 6 months
- always made your reports within 1 month of the incident happening
Any organisations involved will look at your community trigger, and decide if further action can be taken to stop the anti-social behaviour you have experienced.
The community trigger is not used to:
- send us a complaint on how an organisation has dealt with your case (for complaints you should contact the relevant organisation about their complaints procedure)
- report new cases of anti-social behaviour
You can read more about the community trigger process and what is involved.
You can also find out what to do if you want to appeal a community trigger decision.
