The Safer Wealden Partnership brings together a number of agencies, including the Police, Wealden District Council, East Sussex County Council, East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, the office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, the Wealden District Association of Local Councils, the magistracy and the education sector all working together to make communities safer.
The Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB), Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced the procedure called the ‘Anti-social behaviour case review’. You can use this procedure if you believe that the action taken to investigate or deal with your anti-social behaviour concerns has been insufficient.
However, an ASB case review is not a complaints process. If you are unhappy about the outcome of any investigations or reports, you should speak to that agency directly or use the formal complaints procedure for the agency you originally complained to.
ASB Case Reviews are managed by the Community Safety Coordinator in the Environmental Health Department. The Environmental Health Department is a shared service between Rother and Wealden District Councils. If you are submitting an ASB Case Review from Wealden, or on behalf of someone from Wealden, please complete the online Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review Request form.
What happens after your form has been received?
Once your case review form is received, you will receive acknowledgment within 3 working days.
The officer undertaking the review will speak with all agencies involved with your situation previously to gather additional information, within 7 working days.
A review of the actions taken by all agencies and whether these are deemed reasonable will take place within 10 working days.
If it is decided that the actions taken have been reasonable then a case review meeting will not be held and you will be informed of this decision.
If if is decided that a case review is required, then you will be contacted to agree the timescales for this.
