Salford City Council - Record of
Decision
 
I,
Councillor Barbara Bentham, Lead Member for Neighbourhoods,
Environment and Community Safety, in exercise of
the powers contained within the City Council Constitution do hereby approve:
 

1.   
Food Safety and Feed Plans for 2024/25,
incorporating a review of performance during the period
2023/2024,

2.   
The Health and Safety Plan for 2024/25
 
The
Reasons are, the Food Standards
Agency (FSA) requires each local authority to produce a Food and
Feed Service Plan in accordance with the guidelines set out in the
Agency’s Framework Agreement on Local Authority Food Law
Enforcement (April 2010).
 
The
Health and Safety Executive has introduced a National Local
Authority Enforcement Code with the aim of ensuring that local
authority health and safety enforcement are focused on serious
risks and poor performers. To ensure the service is accountable to
our community, local authority health and safety services and
processes should be designed to meet the local needs of the public
and businesses. This should be reflected in publicly available risk
based service plans, approved, on an annual basis, by elected
members, which reflects the HSE’s strategic priorities and
the objectives of the National Code
 
Options considered and rejected: None - there is a statutory duty to produce annual
Food and Feed Service and Health and Safety plans.
 
Assessment of Risk:
low
 
The
source of funding is: The
requirements of the FSA and HSE can be met within existing
budgets.
