National strategies - Respect
Page content
The Government's Respect Action Plan, published in January 2006, set out an ambitious programme to deter bad behaviour and nurture good and to give control of communities back to those who live in them. It builds on the Government’s anti-social behaviour work, but it goes further to get to the root causes of the anti-social behaviour. It focused on:
- Tackling the key causes of anti-social behaviour, such as poor parenting
- Getting more agencies involved in tackling anti-social behaviour
- Developing new ways of challenging and changing behaviour, for example through new family intervention projects
- Mainstreaming changes across services, so that promoting Respect is everyone’s business
