Decision details

Local Authorities are required, by section 24(2) of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006, to have regard to The Regulators’ Compliance Code, issued on 17 December 2007 by the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (now Business, Innovation and Skills - BIS).

 
One of the recommendations of the Code is that Regulators should publish an enforcement policy. The Public Protection and Safety Division’s original Enforcement Policy was written and approved in February 2002 and last updated in October 2006. This report contains a revised Enforcement Policy, taking account of the recommendations contained in the Regulators’ Compliance Code.

AGREED:

That the adoption of the updated Enforcement Policy, attached as Appendix 1 to this report, be approved.
