Local authority audits 2011-2017 England

We work closely with local authorities in the UK to help ensure food stays safe and honest. We have agreements and protocols in place to support local authorities in their work and give guidance to explain the regulations and how they can be applied to food businesses.

We audit local authorities' enforcement services and provide a report that outlines areas where the authority can focus its efforts on improvements, while also celebrating good practice.

We have carried out a number of focused audits which look at a specific aspect of local authority enforcement work. We ask local authorities from around the UK to take part.
