What happens next?

If you contact Aster, one of our Anti-Social Behaviour Team will be in touch with you within one working day.

We'll assess your current situation. To make sure you get the right support we may work with other agencies such as Refuge, Victim Support, Women's Aid, the police and local authorities.

In high risk cases, we may make a Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) referral. 

We may take legal action, which can result in the offender losing their home, in order to protect you, our residents and the local community.
