Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review
Responding to and tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) continues to be a key priority for all community safety partners in Derbyshire.
We're working together to bring to justice those causing anti-social behaviour and provide support for people affected by it.
In Derbyshire, we always strive to provide a high level of service, but recognise that sometimes we don’t get it quite right, and you may feel a further review is needed. This is where the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review comes in.
The Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review
The Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review gives victims the right to ask for a review of their case if their concerns haven't been dealt with or acted upon, and organisations haven't resolved the anti-social behaviour successfully.
If you haven’t already reported the anti-social behaviour, you should report it to the appropriate organisation using our anti-social behaviour tool.
The aim of the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review is to see whether anything else can be done and possibly find solutions that may not have been considered before.
In Derbyshire, the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review process is managed by your local council on behalf of the other organisations involved in the review, such as the police, local health teams and housing providers.
When to use the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review
You can use the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review if you have reported 3 or more related incidents of anti-social behaviour, within the last 6 months.
It doesn’t matter who the anti-social behaviour has been reported to (the council, the police or your landlord), please use the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review application form on your local council website.
You can apply for the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review on behalf of someone else, but you must provide their consent.
When not to use the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review
If you haven’t already reported the anti-social behaviour, you should report it to the appropriate organisation. For more information, use our how to report anti-social behaviour tool.
The Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review is not intended to be an alternative to the relevant organisation’s complaints procedure, which is designed to deal with complaints about individual officers, or services.
The complaints procedure is appropriate for concerns such as:
- if staff have been rude or disrespectful to you
- if staff have given inaccurate or misleading information
- if staff have promised things, such as telephone calls or meetings, and have not delivered on these
- if the organisation has failed to follow their policy or procedure
If you have followed the relevant organisation’s complaints procedure and you are still dissatisfied, you will be given information about the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman, the Housing Ombudsman Service or the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
How to use the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review
In order to request an Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review, you must complete the application form, which is available through your local community safety partnership:
We welcome the opportunity to review cases of anti-social behaviour, but Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review applications may be rejected if they are thought to be prejudicial, discriminatory, malicious, unreasonable or vexatious.
