It is Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week (18 to 24 November) - a national week that takes place annually to raise awareness of anti-social behaviour and ways of tackling this. Along with partner organisations, and MKCC colleagues, we are taking part in several activities/events during the week.

As part of the week, we want to share some information with you that might be helpful within your communities. Therefore, please find enclosed a new poster to help raise awareness of Cuckooing. This is a practice where drug dealers take over a vulnerable person’s property. The poster shows how to identify if someone is a victim of Cuckooing and who you should report it to, using the simple acronym N.E.S.T. 

Please can you add this poster to noticeboards, parish newsletters and social media to encourage people to report this practice, as Cuckooing can happen anywhere. 

Familiarise yourself with the term Cuckooing and think N.E.S.T…
