The Anti-social Behaviour Bill allows for children who are given an Anti-social Behaviour Order (ASBO) to have their details published in the local media and for leaflets produced by the local housing authority, police or ASB Officer, to be distributed through their neighbours doors.

Some of the children receiving ASBO's are children with communication and learning difficulties such as ADHD, Tourettes etc. BIBIC believes that these children are in danger of being penalised for their disabilities and that they likely to be marginilised further by this action.

BIBIC has written to Hazel Blears the Minister of State responsible for anti-social behaviour and produced a number of press releases on this subject. To view them please follow the link below.
