Do you know your rights?

Take a look at Resolve's video at the link here to find out more

It's ASB Awareness Week this week 3-9 July 2023!

This year, the focus is on knowing your rights and the action you can take as an individual or community.

Organised by Resolve, the week is supported by key stakeholders including the Home Office, Local Government Association (LGA), National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and the National Fire Chiefs’ Council (NFCC).

ASB is not a low-level crime, it devastates communities and has a profound impact on victims. But just as everyone can be impacted by ASB – everyone can also play a role in tackling it too.

The ASB Case Review

If you are a victim of persistent anti-social behaviour and you have reported the ASB at least 3 times you have the right to activate an ASB Case Review (formally know as the Community Trigger). The ASB Case Review demands that the Police, Local Authority and/or any other relevant agencies (including MSV Housing and other agencies) come together to try and find a solution to stop the ASB. You have a right to attend or to make your views heard. 

Unfortunately, Resolve's research shows that just 2% of people fully understand and know how to activate the ASB Case Review.
