The council has been significantly successful in addressing alcohol related harm. It collates and shares information with partner organizations, including the NHS and the police. Its other activities fall into four broad areas: awareness and education, coordination with health and social services, provision of business advice, and enforcement of underage legislation.
In rural areas, with large amounts of agricultural land, flytipping is a particularly serious problem. To address it, the council undertakes reactive work once an incident has been reported, and tries to prevent future occurrences through education within the community.
In urban areas, health and safety in the workplace is an important consideration. The council conducts programmed and reactive inspections, and provides relevant guidance, training and information to businesses, employees and members of the public.
Smoking prevalence is slightly lower in Leicester than the average rate for England. The council conducts a broad range of activities to protect the public, including data collection and analysis, risk assessment, education and awareness, and enforcement.
To ensure fair trading in the buying and selling of goods, the council shares its data analysis with partners such as the police and the NHS. Intelligence is the basis for its core activities, split between enforcement, and education and awareness for consumers and businesses.
