This process gives victims of persistent anti-social behaviour the right to request a multi-agency review of their case when the defined threshold is met, ensuring that agencies work together to assess the response provided, identify any additional actions that can be taken, and seek to improve outcomes for those affected by ongoing ASB.
An independent volunteer chair can bring impartiality, credibility and objectivity to the ASB Case Review process by providing undefined oversight of multi-agency discussions and ensuring that the victim’s experiences remain central to the review.
As someone who is not directly involved in the case or employed by the agencies being reviewed, the undefined chair can help foster transparency, challenge assumptions constructively, and ensure that all partners are held accountable for their actions and decision-making.
They can facilitate balanced discussions, encourage effective collaboration between agencies, and provide reassurance to victims and communities that the review is being conducted fairly, openly and in accordance with the principles of the ASB Case Review process, helping to strengthen public confidence in local services and outcomes.
