Are my reports of anti-social behaviour confidential?
Yes. All calls to this unit are treated as confidential under the Data Protection Act. You do not have to worry about anyone finding out who you are. If you are a victim or witness of anti-social behaviour, you can give evidence but stay anonymous. This type of evidence is called hearsay. A police officer or other professional witness can also give evidence in court on behalf of a vulnerable witness. Such as a council official, health worker, teacher or doctor.
