Enforcement policy, enforcement decisions and complaints

Section 18 Standard toolkit - Element 7

The Section 18 Standard requires every enforcing authority (EA) to:

  • take action in accordance with their enforcement policy and the principles of good enforcement;
  • take and review enforcement decisions in line with their enforcement policy, the enforcement management model and other guidance; and
  • have an accessible complaints procedure.

Further details are contained in the S18 toolkit. A downloadable example that supports the toolkit is listed below.
