question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department has taken in line with the coming into force of the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 towards the standardisation of community protection notices and public space protection orders; and what additional finance has been made available to fund the implementation of the Act.
tabling member constituency	Colchester

uin	207737
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The Government published statutory guidance on 21 July 2014 for the police, local councils, social landlords and others on the use of new anti-social behaviour powers in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and POlicing Act 2014, including community protection notices and public spaces protection orders. The Government has moved away from the old, 'top-down', directive approach of the past, and it is working closely with agencies to help them make best use of the guidance and put victims at the heart of their response to anti-social behaviour. The statutory guidance is available at:<br><br>https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/332839/StatutoryGuidanceFrontline.pdf<br><br>No additional funding is available for the implementation of the Act. However, the six new anti-social behaviour powers are simpler and more flexible than the existing powers they will replace. They will allow the police, local councils and other to act quickly and better protect victims and communities blighted by anti-social behaviour.</p><p /> <p /> <p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 18/09/2014 14:30:10 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker
