Safety in your neighbourhood and reporting concerns

The safety of everyone in our communities is our highest priority.

Here you’ll find information about looking after yourself, and taking care of those around you.

You can report any safety issues and concerns to us, and we’ll look into things straight away. You can let us know anonymously if you wish.

Staying safe

We take all reports of anti-social behaviour extremely seriously, and will always take action where necessary to protect customers living in our neighbourhoods.

You can report anti-social behaviour to us through MySalix.

Call the emergency services on 999 if you or anyone in your neighbourhood is in immediate danger.

If it’s a non-emergency, report your concerns to the police by calling 101.

We’re confident that all of our buildings reach the highest safety standards – however, damage or unauthorised work could put people and buildings at risk.

Tenancy fraud can include a person not using one of our properties as their main home, selling keys to the property, or allowing people to live there who aren’t entitled to.

It’s vital that the safety of our customers is not put at risk, and social housing is not abused. Our officers investigate tenancy fraud by carrying out spot-checks and tenancy audits.

If you suspect an incident of tenancy fraud, report it to us through MySalix. You can remain anonymous if you wish.
