approve the BMSDC Anti-Social Behaviour Policy

Content

It was
RESOLVED: -
 
1.1        
That Cabinet approved Option 1: to approve and
adopt the Anti-Social Behaviour Policy

 
1.2        
To agree for the Heads of Service in consultation
with the Portfolio Holders to have delegated authority to make
minor amendments to the ASB Policy to continuously improve the
policy using resident insight, legislative change, lessons learned
from internal audit etc.
 
REASON FOR
DECISION
 
Having a single ASB policy for the 3 departments of the Council
involved in preventing and tackling ASB ensures a consistent,
high-quality approach. This policy embeds a cohesive strategy for
addressing and managing ASB cases across the Council, clearly
defining roles and responsibilities across various
services.
 
The
policy meets the requirements of the Regulator of Social
Housing’s consumer standard will contribute to improving
services provided to tenants.
 
Alternative
Options Considered and Rejected:
 
Option 2: not to adopt the Anti-Social Behaviour Policy. This
would leave the Councils to fail to embed appropriate practices and
procedures, identify roles and responsibilities across the various
service areas.
