Welcome to Warwickshire County Council

About

The Warwickshire Safer Communities Partnership believe that residents of Warwickshire have the right to live peacefully in their homes. They recognise the effect that anti-social behaviour has on individuals, families and whole communities and understand that, as individual partners working together, they have a clear role to play in tackling all forms of nuisance and anti-social behaviour, taking the appropriate response to each reported incident.

To this end, a single guide (The Warwickshire Anti-Social Behaviour Protocol) has been produced to provide partners with information on tackling Anti-Social Behaviour from an initial complaint, through a range of early intervention options designed to prevent the problem escalating, to enforcement and ultimately application for an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (where required).

In responding to reports of nuisance or anti-social behaviour, partners will be mindful of the fact that, in many cases, conflict can be the result of a clash of lifestyles. They will ensure that their response is appropriate and proportionate to the particular circumstances and that it recognises the rights of all those involved.

Their commitment, which is made explicit on this website and the procedures and documents accompanying it, will be demonstrated through their pro-active approach to tackling and resolving incidents of anti-social behaviour.

Section 1 - Detailed Anti-Social Behaviour Protocol

Below, you will find the most up to date version of the Warwickshire Anti-Social Behaviour Protocol in both web-friendly and downloadable formats. This guide has been the subject of in-depth discussions by partners across Warwickshire and was signed off by the Crime and Disorder Management Group in December 2009.

New initiatives and approaches to tackling Anti-Social Behaviour are regularly trialled, evaluated and implemented across the United Kingdom. We will therefore periodically review the content of the protocols and update information to include new initiatives, relevant amendments to legislation or changes to statutory bodies as appropriate.

Section 2 - Interactive Process Flowcharts

For professionals working on cases of anti-social behaviour, or for any other interested party, we have created interactive versions of the process flowcharts contained within the larger Anti-Social Behaviour Protocol.

These interactive flowcharts contain useful information for practitioners on how cases should be processed, what initiatives could be explored at each stage of a complaint process and when cases should be reviewed by a focused group. They also contain key contact information for Warwickshire agencies and bodies.

For interested parties, they also give an insight into the considerations that should be taken into account at each stage of an anti-social behaviour complaint.
