Whiteheads' was one of the first firms in the UK to specialise in providing ASB services to RSL's and the police. We have helped over 50 associations, local authorities and police forces protect their local communities by obtaining anti-social behaviour orders and injunctions against a number of perpetual offenders. It is as important to us as to our clients that their residents feel safe in their communities and for this reason, we operate a 24-hour service whereby any client with an serious ASB case can expect us to obtain an injunction within 24 hours.
In addition to our litigation work, the firm offers a number of training courses to equip housing managers and their teams to quickly and effectively stamp out anti-social behaviour.
The process we use to tackle anti-social behaviour includes:
- Trying alternative means to stop the problematic behaviour
- Helping Housing Officers/Managers obtain the cooperation of other residents
- Working with the client and residents to collect evidence of misbehaviour for use court
- Going to court to obtain orders and injunctions
Another key aim in this area of work is to help RSL's provide support to witnesses who have to provide evidence for court and in order to ensure success for our clients, the firm often uses the services of 'professional witnesses'.
