Food safety enforcement policy

Introduction

Fair and effective enforcement is essential to protect the health, safety and interests of the residents, visitors and businesses of Harlow. Even in a minor case a decision about enforcement action has serious implications for all involved; the general public, businesses, victims, witnesses and defendants.

The Environmental Health Service applies this policy so that it can make fair and consistent decisions about enforcement.

Decisions on enforcement action may have significant implications for those involved.
