Dear All
Many thanks for the replies concerning the retention period for records re
anti-social behaviour.
The majority view was that they should be kept for 7 years after the last
action. This tallies with the recommendations of the RMS Guidelines for
local authorities (section 4.1 and 9.21) and takes into account the
Limitation Act 1980. It was also suggested that the partner agencies (eg.
police, probation) should be consulted to ensure uniformity.
Hope this is helpful.
