ASB Awareness Week 2025

ASB Awareness Week 2025 is here!

Whilst this year’s official theme is Making Communities Safer, we also want to take this time to focus on the importance of language. Namely, in line with the release of our Practitioner’s Guide, we want to demonstrate how the words we use as practitioners can have a big impact on the victims we interact with.

As part of this year’s ASB Awareness Week, we will be sharing the following content over the week:

Our new Practitioners Guide!
#DearReader series – what would you tell someone who is experiencing ASB?
Quotes and insights from victims and practitioners
PLEDGE Awareness Day – celebrating new sign ups and the impact of taking The ASB Help PLEDGE

How can you support ASB Awareness Week?

ASB procedures

If you’re an organisation, consider your ASB procedures - are they up to date, do they align with the ASB principles?
As an organisation, show your community your commitment to ensuring the victim is at the heart of your ASB Case Review process by signing up to The ASB Help PLEDGE.

Practitioner guide

If you’re a practitioner, take a read of our guide and share it with colleagues
If you’re a victim, we would also love your feedback on our guide – do you think the advice would have a positive impact on you?

Raise awareness

Display awareness materials – put up posters and leaflets in offices, GP surgeries, libraries to help people recognise and report ASB. You can find some of our resources below
Use your voice on social media – engage with ASB Awareness Week content. You can also use our social media pack!
Why not consider supporting a community drop-in? There will be lots of events happening across the country aiming to raise awareness of the impact of anti-social behaviour and how to address it.
