Use of risk assessment methods in managing ASB

The request was successful.

Dear Cherwell District Council,

We would like to request some information from your Community Safety Partnership regarding the use of risk assessment in handling cases on anti-social behaviour. We are developing a cloud-based application for risk assessment and community safety and are thus interested in understanding the use of existing methodologies in this area. We would therefore like to ask the following questions:

1. What risk assessment methodology do you use for assessing the risk of anti-social behaviour? Is this used for all incidents?
2. How many community triggers have taken place each year in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017? For each period, how many cases required further action?
3. Which partner in the CSP is responsible for managing the community trigger process?
4. What case management system do you use for managing cases of anti-social behaviour and who is responsible for managing this system? Typically, how many cases are entered each year?
5. Please provide a copy of the risk assessment method and community trigger questionnaire in place for managing anti-social behaviour.
6. Would you be willing to discuss your management of ASB with us?

Yours faithfully,
Hayley Watson,

Practice Manager
