What are the criteria for a Community Trigger?
A Community Trigger case has to meet set criteria to qualify for a review.
In Birmingham, a case needs to meet one of the following thresholds:
- A minimum of 3 separate anti-social behaviour incidents reported during the previous 6 months to either Birmingham City Council, a Social Housing provider or West Midlands Police.
- In addition, at least one report needs to be made during the last month.
(If the same incident has been reported to two separate agencies, this will qualify as one incident).
- At least one hate crime incident reported during the previous 6 months to either Birmingham City Council, a Social Housing provider or West Midlands Police.
(The incident must have been reported as a hate crime at the time of reporting).
We cannot consider incidents unless they have been reported to Birmingham City Council, a Social Housing Provider or West Midlands Police.
