Here goes please tell me the truth. My neighbour split from a short term partner two years ago. He works nights I'm unsure what if any contact they have had in that time but I dont particularly care it does not excuse her behaviour. Last summer she spent significant periods of time in the pub I'm talking days at a time while her son was with his dad all well and good but she would turn up at my neighbours door shouting at all hours of the night kicking the door calling him allsorts of names. The icing on the cake was when she drunkenly mistook my back door for his when trying to get I through the ginnel at the back of the houses. She left immediately but I rang the police. She spent afternoons asleep on his doorstep disappearing whenever she heard anyone open the door, she let down his car tyres ETC and most of the time he want even there . The walls are very thin. I repeatedly rang the police. We hadn't heard anything for some time but last night off she started again kicking the door shouting at him again he was not in. I am aware as I work in Social Care not in my home authority that she works in a neighbouring authority so is probably working with families who may behave as she is currently. I rang her registering professional body and tried to report her but they will not accept an anonymous report I dont want her to target me she is quite violent. So I rang the authority in question they have confirmed that she works there. Do I report here employers on the grounds of the professional body she and I have signed up to we need to conduct ourselves in personal lives in a certain way. There is no law against drinking or having a nice time but anti social behaviour is a definite no no. The police do not see this as a regular enough occurrence to do anything but they dont have to deal with her stupid behaviour. What do you think yes or no?

Why didn't or don't you contact the police? Anonymously, if you want it to be. Maybe if they warned her that she may lose her job and/or face prosecution that might help her mend her ways? I don't think ringing her manager will work if you want to remain anonymous, besides which they'd be unlikely to listen as they may think your intent is malicious/dishonest and therefore it may back fire on you? Presumably they will ask why you didn't call the appropriate authorities and instead contacted them?

The OP did call the police Confused

Is it not possible to report her BUT request with the registration body that your name is kept anonymous from her?

Peterpiperpickedwrong · 03/04/2019 18:29

You could up a yahoo email address and email them anonymously through that. I can fully understand why you wouldn’t want her knowing it is you that has reported her. Do you not have a manager, supervisor, HR that you could mention it to who may know their counterpart in the neighbouring authority?

Jakesmumandbump · 03/04/2019 18:31

Apologies if you’ve already done so but I think initially I’d speak to her ex (your neighbour) and tell him that she turned up again last night in the hope that he might have a word with her about it.

Stinkycatbreath · 03/04/2019 18:34

Hi ShabbyAbby, unfortunately I have contacted the police each time but they do not seem to be doing anything. She is a Social Worker so is working with families. She was at work today despite at 2pm his morning was off her trolley raging at my ne t door neighbour.

Have you not spoken to her ex ?
Surly he's fed up of her coming round ! And 2 years if you've rang the police loads why aren't they doing anything. Sounds like she needs serious help but to loose her job she could only get worse .

user1493413286 · 03/04/2019 18:45

I would keep calling the police; are they literally not doing anything when she’s screaming and shouting at his door? It’ll then show up on her next DBS even if she’s just had a caution

SteveMcqueensJeans · 03/04/2019 18:45

If she is regularly being dealt with by the police for drunken/anti social behaviour and they know she is a social worker (they may not if no one has told them), they could consider a LADO referral which will include notification to her employers and a LADO strategy meeting if felt to be sufficient concerns. Asking for police intervention when she is breaching the peace and ensuring they know her occupation will help. I would also be concerned about alcohol consumption behind closed doors when she dies have care of her child/ren. An anonymous it's referral to the NSPCC online or by phone could be prudent. I have done this more than once and it never came back to me on either occasion.

SteveMcqueensJeans · 03/04/2019 18:46

Apologies for auto correct typos - you get my drift still I hope!

Stinkycatbreath · 03/04/2019 19:23

Just to clarify they split up about two years ago. At one point this was a regular occurrence and I would ring police and they would sorted of drive past an hour or so later always after she had gone or she would hide!It did stop for several months but appears she is back to her old tricks. My neighbour is aware of it I've just spoken to him and he swears blind that he hasn't done anything to instigate this. Regardless I dont see why I should have to listen to her rantings and be disturbed unnecessarily. She works in a very responsible job last night she was very drunk and today at work assessing families to safeguard their children. I understand that she could get I trouble and lose her job but as professional body say her fitness to practice is compromised. I go out and have a good time but so not act like this nobody should act like this let alone somebody who by day makes very serious life changing decisions and by night she is awful. Part of me would be sad for her buy she had gone beyond my sympathy and understanding now and as an adult she is choosing to behave I this way.

Steve, good idea. I have already spoke to our local authority. She is seen regularly in our local pubs not off her trolley but with her young son I tow he clearly just wants to go home. Dont get me wrong I take my son to the pub every now and then but this is regular occurrence and late for a five year old. Just doesn't sit right.

LADO referral and a referral to CSC for her child and the late night pub dwellings if she drunk?

Stinkycatbreath · 03/04/2019 21:49

Scots rule she has often obviously been drinking when with her son buy to be fair I've never seen her drunk while with him, he goes to his dads part of the week when she is out on a mission she doesn't have him around. She is obviously drunk whe kicking on my neighbours door. When anyone goes out she sort of hides. I know this all sounds so odd.

Could you secretly video her and post it anonymously on YouTube, then send a link to her employers? Cruel but efficient.
