Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review

What is the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review?

The Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review is described at section 104 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014.

The Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review gives victims of anti-social behaviour the right to request a review of their case, if their concerns have not been dealt with, or acted upon, and organisations have been unable to resolve the serious persistent, or targeted, anti-social behaviour successfully.

If you haven’t already reported the anti-social behaviour, you should report it to the appropriate organisation.  For more information, use the how to report anti-social behaviour tool.

The aim of the 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 the local council on behalf of the other organisations that will be involved in the review, such as the police, local health teams and housing providers.

Please note, concerns about individual officers, or services, should continue to be directed to the relevant organisation’s complaints procedure and/or the Ombudsman or the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

How to request an Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review?

You can use the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review if you have reported three or more related incidents of anti-social behaviour, within the last six 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 the relevant website for the appropriate authority.

You can apply for the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review on behalf of someone else, but you must provide their consent, with the application form.

A detailed explanation of the threshold for the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review is contained within the Guidance Notes for the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review Application Form.

When should the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review not be used?

If you haven’t already reported the anti-social behaviour, you should report it to the appropriate organisation.  For more information, use the 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 and/or procedure.
