SERVICE AIMS
Food and Health & Safety
The primary work of the Food and Safety
Team is to deliver oïcial food controls
and other enforcement activities. It is
therefore advisory as well as regulatory.
Efective regulation, using digital reports
and communication, supports compliant
businesses to thrive, which creates a
level playing oeld for business, boosts the
economy and provides safe employment in
East Sufolk. These factors contribute to the
Council9s Our Direction 2028 strategic plan.
Suffolk Coastal Port Health Authority
The work of Sufolk Coastal Port
Health Authority (SCPHA) is delivered
separately to the inland responsibilities
of the Food and Safety Team, however
it is still part of the oïcial controls
landscape. At the border, oïcial
controls dovetail with biosecurity and
the wider protection of public and
animal health.
Corporate Health and Safety
The Corporate Health and Safety Team
works across the whole council to assist
teams in every service area to work safely.
This enables others to support the council9s
objectives. A good health and safety culture
reduces staf absence and improves
the organisation9s overall resilience and
business continuity.
