Enhancing Anti-social Behaviour Case Resolution

In the realm of anti-social behaviour (ASB) management, the ASB case review empowered by the ASB, Crime, and Policing Act 2014 and formerly known as the community trigger, stands as a pivotal tool. 

This essential instrument provides a voice to individuals who feel their ASB cases are inadequately addressed. Moreover, it grants professionals an avenue for an objective review of the situation.

However, within this process lies a crucial factor that significantly impacts its effectiveness – the role of the chairperson.

At RHE Global, a leading entity dedicated to community safety and ASB management, we recognise the paramount importance of a proficient and seasoned chairperson in the ASB case review process. As the director of community safety for RHE Global, with 28 years’ insight and practice in this domain, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power that skilled oversight can have on the resolution of ASB disputes.

Why is an independent chairperson indispensable in ASB case reviews?

Expertise matters: The nuances and complexities of ASB cases demand astute comprehension and in-depth knowledge. A neutral chair, with a solid grounding in dealing with ASB situations, brings invaluable awareness, establishing comprehensive understanding and a fair assessment of the matter at hand.

Impartiality and objectivity: The impartial nature of this role is fundamental. Their detachment from the case under review fosters an objective evaluation, free of biases or conflicts of interest, thereby upholding the integrity of the process.

Fairness and transparency: It is essential that fairness is assured throughout the review process. All parties involved must be properly heard and the problem evaluated openly. This not only instils confidence in the process but also facilitates trust among stakeholders.

Constructive outcomes: The ultimate goal of an ASB case review is resolution and action, making the moderator’s role intrinsic in driving the discussion towards practical solutions and strategies, through the promotion of collaborative efforts among stakeholders to address the issues effectively.
