Physical Violence
Physical violence is totally unacceptable behaviour. If you witness someone being physically violent towards another this should be immediately reported to the Police| on either 999 if it is still occurring or on 0845 090 1234 if the violence has stopped.
To help with the evidence that may be needed in court, please download our incident log| and record what you saw. It will help remind you of the series of events when later giving a statement to the Police.
Alternatively if you prefer to remain anonymous then please contact Crimestoppers| on Tel: 0800 555 111
Gloucester City Homes would also like to know about any violence taking place in homes or on land that we manage or that involves our tenants, leaseholders or shared owners. Please contact us| to report such behaviour.
