Where a victim has a language or literacy issue or a learning disability, we accept applications in person or by telephone. However, a signed consent on the official application must be obtained.
We bring agencies together to review the victim's case and look for new solutions.
If we accept an application for a case review, we will hold a multi-agency partnership meeting.
In the meeting, we will review:
We will draft an action plan at the meeting and the lead agency will share it with the victim.
The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 requires us to publish the statistical data about ASB case reviews requested.
