Request an anti-social behaviour case review

Victims of persistent anti-social behaviour (ASB) reported to any of the partner agencies can request a multi-agency case review where a local threshold is met.

ASB victims can be individuals, businesses or community groups, while family members, carers, MPs, councillors or other professionals can apply on the victim’s behalf.

Case reviews require a joined-up approach from multiple partners, including:

• the police
• the local authority
• an integrated care board
• any registered social housing providers that are aware of the issue

Reviews may be held to see what, if anything else, can be done to find a solution to persistent or ongoing ASB issues.

Case reviews cannot be used to report incidents of anti-social behaviour, nor are they a complaints procedure.

Case review process

When an ASB case review is requested, partner agencies must decide whether the threshold has been met and communicate this to the applicant.

1. Step 1 : Sharing of personal data Hide Show

   For the case review to be effective, each partner is asked to review what records they have in relation to the reported ASB, including the victim’s details and how the ASB impacted them.

   This requires the applicant to share the victim’s personal details with partner agencies, including their name and address.

   If the applicant requests a case review, they will be sharing information – including personal data – for partners to identify contacts and check for past interactions.

   Should the applicant not consent to sharing the information, an ASB case review cannot take place.

   For more information, read our privacy policy.

2. Step 2 : Case review threshold Hide Show

   For your case to be eligible for review:

   • at least three ASB incidents must have been reported within a six-month period to either:
     • the police
     • the local authority
     • an integrated care board
     • any registered social housing provider
   • each ASB incident has been reported within one month of them occurring (each incident will only be counted once – even if it has been reported to multiple agencies)

3. Step 3 : Request a case review Hide Show

   You can make a request to the police:

   • online – fill in our request a review of ongoing anti-social behaviour form
   • in person – at your local police station
   • by post – write to your local ASB team

4. Step 4 : Potential outcomes Hide Show

   Successful requests

   If the threshold has been met, you will either be invited to:

   • attend the case review
   • give an impact statement

   Then, a multi-agency meeting will be convened to:

   • consider the impact on the victim
   • review the actions taken to date
   • agree an action plan for tackling the ASB going forwards

   Unsuccessful requests

   If a request does not meet this threshold, the case review will not be progressed unless there are additional circumstances which add to the level of impact or risk to the victims.

   The decision, and the reasons why, will be relayed to the applicant, who will also receive information on how to appeal.
