Bristol County Court Pilots Anti-Social Behaviour Scheme

The pilot, launched by Constitutional Affairs minister Rt Hon Harriet Harman QC MP, will make sure that the civil courts get the information they need to ensure the smooth progress of anti social behaviour cases.

The county court scheme is part of the Respect Action Plan announced in January 2006 which sets out how the Government intends to tackle the causes of anti social behaviour.

A new anti-social behaviour co-ordinator will act as the main point of contact between the parties and the court and identify where and how communication can be strengthened, or where more training or information needs to be given.

The co-ordinator will also monitor changes in legislation and new measures that could affect anti social behaviour cases, and ensure that all relevant organisations or agencies are aware of the new changes.
