Staying safe in your communities

We know that from time to time people may feel anxious or have concerns about their safety. At Stonewater, we want to reassure you that help and support are available.

If you or members of your community experience abuse, here’s what you can do:

• Report any potential criminal behaviour – if you experience hate speech, vandalism, malicious damage to property or other potential criminal activity, please contact the police straight away. You can call 101 to report property damage or anti-social behavhour in your neighbourhood and 999 if you (or someone else) is in immediate danger or a crime is in progress.   

• Let us know – any potential criminal activity should also be reported to Stonewater so that we can work with the authorities in your area.

• Get support – if you have been affected or suffered as a result of activity in your community our anti-social behaviour (ASB) team can help.

• Come together - reaching out to neighbours, being an ally and actively including people in community activity can go a long way to making people feel safe and welcome. 

• Emotional wellbeing – anyone witnessing or experiencing potential criminal activity may go through a range of emotions. We can refer you to our partners, Longleigh, for mental health support, or signpost you to other helpful resources. Just reach out to us. 

We want everyone to feel welcome and included in our communities. If you need support, let us know – we're always here to help.  You can find out how to contact us and report anti-social behaviour on our website.
