Report antisocial behaviour

How to report antisocial behaviour and what to do if you're not satisfied with the response.

How to report

Please use our online forms if you wish to report any of the following:

• fly tipping

• dog fouling 
• broken glass, needles or bodily fluid

ASB Case Review 

The ASB Case Review is a process you can use to ask agencies to review their response to antisocial behaviour or hate incidents you have reported.

It ensures all agencies work together to try and resolve any ongoing complaints about antisocial behaviour. We will do this by:

• discussing the problem
• sharing information
• using our resources to try and reach an agreeable outcome

Visit the ASB Case Review page for further information.

Background

The North Norfolk Operational Partnership Team (OPT) coordinates the response of the Norfolk Safer Communities Partnership in tackling antisocial behaviour (ASB) across the district. The North Norfolk OPT includes representatives from:

• North Norfolk District Council
• Victory Housing Trust
• Norfolk Constabulary
• Partnership Anti-Social Behaviour Coordinator

For a consistent approach, we work with a wide range of agencies, such as the:

• police
• probation
• youth and social services
• local registered social landlords 

The partners operate a 'Right First Time' protocol where any complaint of ASB would be taken and directed to the correct agency for investigation.

Hate crime

Any crime where the victim or any other person perceives it was motivated by hostility or prejudice towards their identity is a hate crime. It includes crimes perceived to be motivated by:

• race
• religion
• sexual orientation
• disability
• transgender-identity

A hate incident is any incident that the victim, or anyone else, thinks is based on someone’s prejudice towards them because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or because they are transgender. Not all hate incidents will amount to criminal offences, but it is important to report them to the police.

By reporting hate crimes when they happen to you, you may be able to prevent these incidents from escalating or happening to someone else. You will also help the police understand the extent of hate crimes in your local area so they can better respond to them. Reporting makes a difference - to you, your friends, and your community.

If you have any information relating to community tensions or hate-related crimes, please report it using one of the following methods:

• Online: report via Norfolk Constabulary
• Email: communitytensions@police.uk (this inbox is not monitored during weekends)
• Phone: 101 for non-emergencies
• Emergency: dial 999

Support for victims of domestic abuse

North Norfolk District Council is actively working with the police, Leeway Women's Aid and other local authorities to help and support the victims of domestic violence.
