SERVICE AIMS
Food and Health & Safety
The primary work of the Food and Safety
Team is to deliver o昀케cial food controls
and other enforcement activities. It is
therefore advisory as well as regulatory.
E昀昀ective regulation, using digital reports
and communication, supports compliant
businesses to thrive, which creates a
level playing 昀椀eld for business, boosts the
economy and provides safe employment in
East Su昀昀olk. These factors contribute to the
council’s Strategic Plan.
Suffolk Coastal Port Health Authority
The work of Su昀昀olk 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 o昀케cial controls
landscape. At the border, o昀케cial
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 council’s
objectives. Good health and safety culture
reduces sta昀昀 absence and improves
the organisation’s overall resilience and
business continuity.
