Anti-social behaviour and neighbourhood

The Highland Council takes anti social behaviour very seriously.  We firmly believe that everyone has a right to live peacefully in their home and their community, without suffering through the actions of other people.
 
Unfortunately, anti social behaviour does sometimes occur, across all tenures, in the Highlands.
 
The Council and partner agencies in the Highlands are currently reviewing our Anti Social Behaviour Protocol, which will be published under Current Documents section as soon as it is finalised. 

 Community Safety
 
Community Safety is a key priority for the Highland Council and the Council has a dedicated Community Safety Unit to work towards improving the quality of life in the Highlands and to ensure that everyone can live safely in their communities.
  
The Scottish Executive has also provided funding to all local authorities for other initiatives to tackle anti social behaviour and promote community safety.
 
In Highland, we have used this money to:

• Set up an Anti Social Behaviour Team to investigate serious incidents of anti social behaviour
• Employ Community Wardens in certain areas where anti social behaviour is perceived to be a particular problem
• Commission SACRO to provide a Mediation Service in the Highlands 

Domestic Abuse
 
If you or anyone you know suffers from domestic abuse, you can get help and advice from the Council.  Please go to the Domestic Abuse page for more advice.
