National Enforcement Priorities in Wales
Following a formal consultation process undertaken by the Welsh Government, the first national enforcement priorities for Wales were prepared by LBRO and published in July 2010. Their practical applications are highlighted in four supporting practice examples, produced subsequently.
1) Protecting individuals from harm and promoting health improvement
Wales Heads of Trading Standards - Trading Standards Accreditation to Issue Penalty Notices for Disorder
2) Ensuring the safety and quality of the food chain to minimize risk to human and animal health
All 22 Welsh Local Authorities / Food Standards Agency - The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme
3) Promoting a fair and just trading environment for citizens and business
Cardiff Council - Cold Calling Control Zones
4) Improving the local environment to positively influence quality of life and promote sustainability
Ceredigion County Council Environmental Health Improvement Team - The Night Time Economy Project
The priorities reflect the fundamental principles contained within the One Wales agreement: to create accountable, citizen-centred public services that deliver the outcomes the Welsh Government wishes to achieve.
