Anti-Social Behaviour Case Reviews

We know that, where left unchecked, anti-social behaviour can have an overwhelming impact on its victims and, in some cases, on the wider community.

The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced specific measures designed to give victims and communities a say in the way that complaints of anti-social behaviour are dealt with.

This includes the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review, formerly known as the community trigger, which gives victims of persistent anti-social behaviour reported to any of the main responsible agencies (such as the council, police, housing provider) the right to request a multi-agency case review where a local threshold is met.

Agencies, including local authorities, the police, local health teams and registered providers of social housing have a duty to carry out a case review when someone requests one and their case meets a locally defined threshold. For more information visit Anti-social behaviour case review - GOV.UK

If you feel your case meets the threshold for an ASB Case Review, please contact the Community Safety Team via communitysafetyteam@torfaen.gov.uk

Agencies have a duty to publish data on the number of ASB Case Reviews received, how many met the threshold, and the number that resulted in further action. This is to ensure transparency of the system and not to judge the performance of the agencies in relation to anti-social behaviour casework.
