The ASB Case Review gives victims of persistent anti-social behaviour reported to any of the main responsible agencies (council, police, housing provider etc.) the right to request a multi-agency review of their case, where it meets the threshold.

When you can request a review?

You can seek a review if:

  • You have made three separate reports of incidents of anti-social behaviour in the previous six months, and you feel that no action has been taken; and
  • The request for review is made within a month of the third incident being reported

What can I expect?

Within 10 working days of an ASB Case Review being submitted, an assessment will be made based on the information you have provided to determine whether the threshold has been met. To this end, regard will be given to:

  • The persistence of the ASB the original complaint was made about
  • The harm or potential harm caused by that behaviour
  • The adequacy or otherwise of the response to that behaviour

A designated officer will contact you to explain the decision as to if your submitted case has met the threshold for review.

When considering any application for an Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review, ASB will be taken to mean behaviour causing harassment, alarm or distress to any member or members of the public.

Anonymous, frivolous or vexatious applications will not be considered.

If the threshold is met for a Case Review

Within 28 days of the decision to accept the case for review, information on the case will be requested from the relevant agencies, who will jointly:

  • look at the sharing of information between agencies
  • review the actions already considered and taken
  • where necessary make recommendations for the relevant agency or agencies to take further action

Where relevant you or your representative will be invited to present your case to a panel including representatives of the relevant agencies to inform their decision making and provide further information.

A designated officer will contact you to explain:

  • the outcome of the review
  • any recommendations made resulting from the review

Appointment of a Lead Agency

The Anti-Social Behaviour Review is not an agency and will not manage accepted cases. The panel will appoint a Lead Agency and Officer, who will be responsible for any Actions recommended during the Review.

Appealing a Decision

There will be scope to appeal the panel's decision regarding whether or not the threshold has been met or with the decision made on completion of the review.

Submitting a Case for Review

In order to gather the necessary evidence to fully investigate your case, we will need to share the details you submit and any relevant information with our partners. 

Find out more about how we will share information with partner agencies involved in the review.

Make an application for a ASB Review

An application for an ASB Case Review is not appropriate in the follow situation:

  • The applicant wishes to remain anonymous in the application, although in exceptional circumstances this may be considered where there are legitimate reasons for preserving anonymity
  • The application is considered to be frivolous and/or vexatious or otherwise unreasonable
  • The applicant wants a review of a Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decision whether to prosecute a criminal offence (link)
  • The applicant is dissatisfied with a decision made by any court or tribunal (appeals route link?)
  • The applicant wishes to make a formal complaint about a service they have received (link to corporate comps)
