Enforcement Policies
Fair and effective enforcement is essential to protect the health, safety and interests of the residents, visitors and businesses of Redcar and Cleveland.
This Service Enforcement Policy is designed to make sure that everyone knows the principles that the Service will apply when carrying out enforcement work, ensuring that the same principles are routinely applied, and that everyone involved in the process is treated fairly, consistently, and effectively.
The primary aim of enforcement activities is to achieve regulatory compliance to protect the general public, legitimate businesses, the environment, and groups such as consumers, residents and workers.
Enforcement includes actions aimed at ensuring that individuals or businesses comply with the law, carried out in the exercise of, or against the background of, appropriate statutory powers. This is not limited to formal enforcement action such as prosecution but includes, for example, the provision of warnings and advice to aid compliance.
