Have your say on a £1m anti-social behaviour pilot
People in West Yorkshire are being urged to have their say on a new £1m pilot to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB).
A survey has launched asking for members of the public to feedback their experiences of ASB and how they would like to see those responsible make amends.
It is vital that we listen to our communities, so we want to hear from as many people as possible, who can share their experiences and help inform this important work.
Background to the new pilot
The Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin, successfully secured million-pound funding to trial what’s being called Immediate Justice Services.
The new initiative will see a range of tailored services for adults and children trialled to benefit victims.
This includes completing unpaid work, repairing damage caused by their actions, and the option of restorative justice, where the victim can communicate with the person responsible for the crime.
Working in close partnership with West Yorkshire Police, HM Prisons and Probation Service, Youth Justice Services and our Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector, the initiative seeks to recognise and prevent trauma, respond early, and mitigate harm.
Learning from the project will also improve the early intervention and prevention approach to ASB across the county.
We are determined to make West Yorkshire a safer place to work, live and raise a family, so we’re tackling the issues that really matter to people. Anti-social behaviour can plague communities. This new pilot aims to prevent it by working with offenders to understand and address the root causes.
