Help and advice

Your safety and wellbeing

We want everyone to feel safe where they live – in their home, on their street, and around their neighbourhood

Standing up for our communities

No one should feel unsafe or uncomfortable in their own home or neighbourhood. If someone’s behaviour is causing fear, stress or disrupting your day, we want to know.

We take safety seriously and work with the police and local partners to support residents and sort out problems.

How we support you

We work with you to help prevent crime, stop domestic abuse and anti-social behaviour and tackle things like vandalism and environmental problems. We’re especially here for older residents and for people who might feel vulnerable, to help them feel secure and confident in their community.

We’re part of a wider team that includes wardens, neighbourhood officers, and local services, all working together to make Wythenshawe a safer place to live.

We also support the police by sharing helpful info that can assist with their investigations and actions.

Working together

Our Community Safety team keep a close eye on public areas, residential streets, and community spaces. They’re ready to step in when something’s not right. Working with partners across Manchester, we help deal with:

  • Anti-social behaviour
  • Crime or suspicious activity
  • Environmental damage or fly tipping
  • Noise or nuisance complaints
  • Safeguarding concerns

We take all reports seriously and make sure they get to the right people fast – whether that’s emergency services, housing teams or support workers.

Domestic abuse support

Your safety matters to us. We’re here to listen, believe you, and help you find the right support.

Are you in immediate danger? Call 999.

Can’t speak? Press 55 and you’ll be automatically connected to the police.

Report anti-social behaviour

Seen something worrying? Whether it’s noise, threatening behaviour, or anything else that’s making you feel uncomfortable or is making your life harder, tell us. You don’t have to give your name if you don’t want to.

Every report helps us take action and improve our community.

Safeguarding people

Safeguarding means helping people live safely, free from harm or abuse. It includes preventing harm, giving support, and taking action when someone or a family needs help.

We work with others to spot concerns early and make sure people get the right support. All worries are taken seriously, and we’ll always act to help keep people safe, in our homes and across our communities.

Read our CCTV guidebook

Many residents use security cameras or video doorbells to feel safer in their homes. This guide explains how to use home CCTV responsibly, what the law says, and how to avoid recording other people in a way that could affect their privacy.
