Anti Social Behaviour
Housing Anti-Social Behaviour and Enforcement Team
(HASBET)
We believe that residents are entitled to live in well managed
homes where they feel good about themselves and their
communities.
Anti-social behaviour can take many different forms ranging from
threatening behaviour to neighbour complaints, from loud music to
untidy gardens.
Your Homes Newcastle is committed to taking clear steps to deal
effectively with anti-social behaviour, 
nuisance and
harassment so that residents can live in a comfortable and safe
environment.
In February 2008, our Housing Anti Social Behaviour and
Enforcement Team (HASBET) were awarded a Charter Mark for customer
service excellence. In October 2008, the Social Landlord’s Crime
and Nuisance Group awarded HASBET the Team Award for 2008 for
exemplary practice in tackling anti social
behaviour.
Our dedicated Housing Anti Social Behaviour and Enforcement Team
aims to reduce anti social behaviour through supporting victims and
taking action against those who cause problems for their
neighbours.
To support this we work in partnership with Newcastle City
Council, Northumbria Police and Victim Support. We also work
closely with ARCH to tackle hate crime - click here to find out what hate crime is and how
you can report it.
We are also committed to helping vulnerable
people sustain their tenancies and avoid homelessness -
