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.

Part of our job is to evaluate the effectiveness of the official controls system in England, Wales and NI. To do this we plan and carryout audit programmes in each country.

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.
