The anti-social behaviour case review is designed to give victims of anti-social behaviour (ASB) the right to request a review of their case and bring agencies together to take a joined up, problem solving approach to find a solution.

The anti-social behaviour case review can be requested by a victim of anti-social behaviour or someone acting on their behalf, for example a family member, friend, carer, councillor or other professional.

The review cannot be used to report general acts of crime, including hate crime.

Activating the anti-social behaviour case review

The anti-social behaviour case review can be used:

  1. if you have complained to Kirklees Council, the police and/or a registered housing provider (social landlord) on no more than 3 occasions about separate incidents in the last 6 months; or
  2. you consider that the behaviour is persistent, or has caused harm, or no effective action has been taken by relevant authorities.

The anti-social behaviour must have been reported to the relevant agency within 1 month of the alleged incident taking place and the application to use the review must be made within 6 months of the first report.
