Antisocial behaviour Community Trigger

The Community Trigger

Responding to and tackling antisocial behaviour and hate motivated incidents is a top priority for Southwark Council and its partners. The Council has robust mechanisms which allow the police, council, housing providers, other organisations and communities to work in partnership with each other to tackle antisocial behaviour and hate incidents.

We want to make sure we get it right first time, but recognise that sometimes we don't.

What is Community Trigger?

The Community Trigger gives victims and communities the right to ask that agencies take action to deal with persistent antisocial behaviour and to review what action has been taken. It helps us and you by making sure that no-one suffering the harmful effects of antisocial behaviour and hate crime falls through the net. It will also ensure that all that can be done, is being done.

Who can use Community Trigger?

Anyone can use the Community Trigger if their concern is about antisocial behaviour or a hate incident / crime and meets the criteria which is:

• You have complained to the Council, Police or a Registered Housing Provider about three separate incidents in the last 6 months and the problem still persists.
