Do you often chair ASB case reviews but do not feel entirely confident in the role, perhaps feeling like the review isn’t as effective as it could be?
Are you considering stepping into a chair role and want to make sure you have the skills to do so confidently and effectively?
Are the ASB case reviews unpleasant to attend with lots of defensiveness from agencies, blame passing and fault finding?
The ASB case review is a statutory process that every local authority area must have in place. It gives residents a way to request a partnership review of their ASB case. Whilst it is a legal requirement, the statutory guidance and primary legislation provide little specific detail about how the process should work in practice.
This can often create challenge for anyone chairing such a review. There is a desire to achieve the best outcomes for the applicant, whilst also fostering and maintaining good partnership relationships.
Creating a culture where case reviews are seen as a fault-finding exercise is likely to result in agencies avoiding raising awareness of the process and residents not knowing of this legal right that they have.
Conversely, creating a problem solving, partnership environment, will ensure that practitioners get the support that they need to best manage a case and the outcomes are most positive for the person making the application for review.
The chair of these reviews pays a pivotal role in creating the most effective review environment, yet there is often little support or guidance to assist them in knowing how best to achieve this. This course is designed to fill that gap.
This course uses a mix of videos, exercises and quizzes to cover the following lessons:
1. Setting the right tone
2. How to involve the applicant in the review
3. Things to consider during the review
4. Setting the most effective recommendations
