Views sought on proposed AHVLA policy
The AHVLA delivers Government policies relating to animal health and welfare.
Stakeholders have an opportunity to share their views on a proposed new AHVLA policy that sets out the agency's approach to regulation.
The AHVLA is the regulator responsible for delivering Government policies that relate to animal health and welfare in Britain.
In April this year a new Regulators' Code will come into force, providing a flexible framework for regulation and allowing regulators to customise their service and enforcement policies to suit those they regulate.
The code has a statutory basis under the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006.
In developing the policies that guide its regulatory services, the AHVLA has a statutory duty to regard this code.
The agency has proposed a Regulatory and Compliance Policy, which sets out its approach to compliance and enforcement, the desired outcomes and the principles guiding its regulatory activities.
The policy also describes how the AHVLA will support and advise regulated industries.
To read the Regulatory and Compliance Policy, visit the AHVLA website. Comments on the policy can be submitted by email to AHVLAPublicConsultation@ahvla.gsi.gov.uk
