1 story · 1 council

Harrow Council recorded an increase in violent or aggressive behaviour incidents in the 2025-26 financial year.

Harrow Council recorded an 8% increase in health and safety incidents, including violent or aggressive behaviour, in the 2025-26 financial year, with 524 incidents reported. This rise, noted in the council's annual health and safety report in July 2026, may indicate improved reporting practices and greater staff awareness.

Strategic Director for Corporate Resources and Innovation, Richard Brooks, stated that it is difficult to interpret this as an underlying increase in incidents. No further discussions or decisions are currently scheduled regarding violence and aggression incidents at Harrow Council.
