What happens next? Your responsibilities

We will work with you to help us deal with cases quickly and efficiently. You can support us by:

  • Keeping calm – It’s important not to inflame situations further and co-operate with our colleagues as they investigate.
  • Considering mediation – Your case officer may recommend this as a positive first step.
  • Being truthful – If you are found to have made false allegations, Great Places can take action against you.
  • Reporting serious incidents to any other relevant agencies.

Working with other agencies

We want to resolve all cases of anti-social behaviour as quickly as possible and sometimes we need to work with partner agencies to do this.

Partner agencies, including the police, may be able to act when we can’t, or provide legal back-up.

In some cases, if matters aren’t reported to the police/emergency services it can make it more difficult for us to take action.

Who do you tell?

  • The Police “” if you suspect criminal activity has taken place
