What is an Acceptable Behaviour Contract?

What is an Acceptable Behaviour Contract?
An accetpable behaviour contract (ABC) is a voluntary agreement made between a person causing anti-social behaviour and the local police, the person's school, registered social landlord and any other relevant agency.

The ABC is a flexible agreement. They are normally used to deal with problems caused by people aged between 10 and 17 years old but can also be used with adults.

Accetpable behaviour contracts are a way of tackling a range of problems before they get worse and although voluntary, provide valuable evidence in court if an anit-social behaviour order is being sought.
