The Crime and Policing Bill 2025 has recently had its second reading in Parliament.

The reforms will introduce ‘Respect Orders’ (which will largely replace Anti-Social Behaviour Injunctions) and other key changes to deal with Anti-Social Behaviour.

Other reforms include changes to closure orders, the age somebody can be subject to a Respect Order, changes to grounds for possession, punishment reforms for breaches of a Respect Order, powers to move those on a housing waiting list and the ability to refuse surrender or grant of a tenancy.

Why Boards need to be thinking about it:

  • Changing reforms – Planning and training about the proposed reforms will be key to understand the expected changes of how organisations will deal with Anti-Social Behaviour.
  • Positive and negatives – Boards will need to consider how to plan for the changes, along with the likely cost and resources to implement them.

In this session we will cover:

  • Outline what the Bill seeks to change in terms of housing and Anti-Social Behaviour impact – This can provide an overview of Bill and the changes it expects to make to Anti-Social Behaviour management and enforcement.
  • Key reforms – This section will then go into more detail about the key reforms – and how it is likely that they will affect housing management.
