What is an Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Case Review?
An ASB Case Review is a review of anti-social behaviour complaints you have made where the anti-social behaviour continues to take place.
Who can apply for an ASB Case Review?
A victim of anti-social behaviour or another person acting on their behalf. This could be a carer or family member, MP, councillor or professional person. The victim could be an individual, a business or a community group.
When can you apply for an ASB Case Review?
You can apply if you have reported three or more incidents of ASB to Waverley Borough Council, Surrey Police or Surrey County Council which you do not feel have dealt with the problem. For a review to be held, the reported incidents must meet the threshold below:
- Be separate, but related, incidents that have taken place within the last six months
- Have been reported to the agencies within one month of the incident taking place.
If the threshold is not met the case review will not occur.
What is not suitable for an ASB Case Review?
- If you have reported ASB and been given a timescale for response, which has not run out. However we will contact the agency you made the report to, to make sure they are aware of the issue.
- If you have reported ASB and received a service but you are unhappy with the conduct of a particular agency. You may be advised to submit a complaint under the agency's complaints procedures.
