Anna Highfield, editor of Inside Housing Management, and Katharine Swindells, deputy features editor at Inside Housing, discuss lessons from the Housing Diversity Network’s annual conference – including insightful training on better ways to respond to and tackle hate crime.

We also interview Melonie Wheatle, anti-social behaviour (ASB) officer at Hexagon Housing Association, about what her 13 years in ASB has taught her – including how the landscape of ASB has changed in that time, what the biggest barriers for ASB staff are in 2025, and what makes a good new recruit.
