Anti-social behaviour case review
An anti-social behaviour (ASB) case review is a tool for tackling anti-social behaviour as part of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.
The review is aimed at finding suitable actions to resolve the problems in a multi-agency format such as the local council, police and housing associations.
Who can apply
For a case review to be activated it must meet one of the following criteria:
- 3 incidents of anti-social behaviour in a 6 month period have been reported
- 5 reported incidents of anti-social behaviour in a 6 month period involving a linked location reported by more than one person
Any member of the public, business or community group can apply for a case review if they have been a victim of anti-social behaviour.
A representative can also apply on behalf of a victim if they have consent, for example a family member, friend, carer, councillor.
What does a case review involve
A case review brings agencies together to take a multi-agency, problem-solving approach to find a solution.
The review process is aimed at resolving issues in the more persistent and complex cases of anti-social behaviour.
The case review does not replace an individual organisations’ complaints procedures which can and should be used by the public.
How to apply
You can apply by downloading and completing the ASB case review application form.
When completed send it by:
- email to communitysafetyteam@southglos.gov.uk
- post to South Gloucestershire Council, Department for Place, Anti-Social Behaviour Team, PO Box 1954, Bristol BS37 0DD
