Effective support for
anti-social behaviour victims
ASB Help is a registered charity in England and Wales set up to provide advice and support to victims of anti-social behaviour.
ASB Help aims to provide information and advice to interested parties and members of the public involved with and suffering from anti-social behaviour. We believe there is a clear need for coordinated information and advice that is readily accessible to those who need it.
Our website focuses on equipping victims of anti-social behaviour with the necessary tools to effectively report it…
Important: The ‘ASB Case Review’ is now known as the ‘ASB Case Review’.
Have You:
- been suffering with noisy neighbours ?
- had people making your life a nightmare because of their behaviour?
- become unsure where to turn?
- reported it and no one seems to be listening?
DON’T SUFFER IN SILENCE
Help and Support
How are you coping?
Anti-social behaviour can take over your life. It can also last for a long time and you may need some help to cope with that.
Don’t let it take control of you.
We believe the most common emotions that victims of anti-social behaviour experience are fear, frustration and fury:

Take Action
The police, local authority and housing association can only act if you report a problem to them. Don’t suffer in silence.
If you report it, you might stop the same problem happening again.
ASB Case Review
You may feel like you have nowhere to turn for help. You may have reported the anti-social behaviour but no-one seems to be doing anything and no-one is listening. The ASB Case Review has been designed for you.
If you (or others) have reported an incident 3 or more times within a 6 month period and not received a satisfactory response, you can activate the ASB Case Review (also known historically as the ASB Case Review) through your Local Authority. This has been designed to give you, the victim, the right to demand that agencies deal with persistent anti-social behaviour.

“If you do report it to Environmental Health/Police do not expect things to happen quickly. Expect to be in it for the ‘long haul'”
In it for the Long Haul’James’, South Yorkshire
“Do not underestimate the subtle effect this awful behaviour can have on you. Be prepared to be brushed off by agencies … be prepared for them to doubt you.”

Don’t Bite Back’John’, Sheffield
“Can’t really have visitors as its so invasive. Has impacted my mental health and made me feel unable to enjoy my new home.

ASB News
Our new report shows how victims are being let down by ASB Case Reviews
It’s an exciting day for ASB Help as we launch our brand new report on ASB Case Review. We sent out Freedom of Information requests to all local areas and have crunched and collated all the data they sent back. What we found was a postcode lottery in the application of the ASB Case Review statutory guidance and a lack of engagement with victims as part of the ASB Case Review process and, in some areas, this just isn’t good enough. Some of our key findings include: Nearly half of local areas (44%) do not give victims the opportunity to…

Noise Nuisance- Part 1- General Living Noise
Following on from the really distressing and heart-breaking news that 56 year old, Mark Pearce, took his own life after 9 months of suffering and reporting noise to his housing association (as detailed by the Housing Ombudsman), we thought we would write a series of short blogs on noise nuisance. The impact it has on residents, the different types of noise nuisance, along with some hints and tips. For this blog, we wanted to reflect upon some of the recommendations in the ‘Spotlight on Noise‘ Ombudsman report. Whilst this tragic case pre-dates this report, it just reiterates the importance of…
