In March 2023, the government published the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Action Plan, and committed to collecting new mandatory data from councils to improve data, reporting and accountability around ASB. DLUHC and Home Office have been working with a group of ASB officers in England and Wales to identify proportionate and appropriate data.

DLUHC and Home Office are now seeking views from a wider audience and have devised the following short survey. Those with responsibility for ASB or data collections in English and Welsh councils are encouraged to respond before 11 September. The information will be used to make a final decision and inform a new burdens assessment and application to the Single Data List with the aim of collecting new data from April 2024.

If you have any questions about the survey or the wider work or would like to be involved in the working group, please contact ASBUnit@levellingup.gov.uk
