2. To authorise the following officers to approve the bringing of
proceedings for any offence under The Health Protection
(Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020.
Authorised Officers:
a. Joint Head of Service
b. Environmental Health Manager
To enable the Councils to enforce the
provisions of the Act to protect public health. A wide group of
officers have been identified to enable enforcement action and
on-site support as required.
To reserve all delegated powers to the Joint
Head of Service only. This would require the Joint Head of Service
to personally approve and attend every enforcement action in
relation to the Act, and given the seriousness and practicalities
involved in enforcing the legislation this would be a prohibitive
step.
Due to the potentially high profile of any legal proceedings
against businesses, the authorisation of proceedings for such
offences should not be granted to officers outside the service
senior management team.
