Areas for Improvement. It is important when considering areas for improvement to have regard to current activities to compare them with ‘The Standard’ that is prescribed by the Food Standards Agency. The following table highlights the areas for improvement. The most pressing of these have been scheduled into the review programme for the year 2011/2012 The other areas noted below will be scheduled into the programme for 2012/2013. Number Identified Area for Improvement Year 2011/2012 Year 2012/2013 1 Review the procedures for the Food Service and to update them in accordance with legislative changes. 2 Implement any improvements identified by the review of documentation identified above 3 Maintain a documented training programme as part of the MDPP initiative for each officer employed on food safety work
Areas for Improvement. The service needs to continue the development of a partnership approach to food enforcement by improving the integration and co-ordination of food standards and food safety enforcement. Improvements in service planning and performance measurement will continue to be the foundation for this process. The service will continue to review documented policies and procedures of the food enforcement service, some of which will be subject to public consultation and member approval before they are formally adopted. Previous years have seen a major change in Food Safety and Feeding Stuff legislation, combined with a review of strategy and policy by the Food Standards Agency, which is likely to result in a new reporting mechanism for Local Authority Food Enforcement with a comprehensive review of enforcement activities. This will all be combined with the results of the Hampton Review and Central Government's desire to reduce burdens on business while maintaining public protection, which it aims to do through the Local Better Regulation Office and the adoption of the Primary Authority Principle, the implications of which remain to be seen. The provision of business advice and consumer education is becoming increasingly important and the service will be examining ways to expand its activities in this area. This links into the value of providing a healthy and nutritious diet to the long term health and wellbeing of the individuals and improving food safety standards in the catering sector and home. The service will continue to closely monitor both local and national performance indicators applicable to the service and seek to put in place the mechanism necessary for continuous improvement in performance. In addition, the service is going through a re-organisation along with Job Evaluation and Peer Review of the Trading Standards Service.

Areas for Improvement. Term of Reference 3 Identification of areas for improvement and opportunities to enhance current and future arrangements. While the NPA was largely effective, it was limited by the shortcoming of its milestones and payment structure. Generally, the assessment arrangements worked well and the roles of parties to the agreement were clear; however, transferring the role of the NWC to the Department (via DoE) reduced the independence of the assessment arrangements and reduced the NPA’s consistency with IGAFFR principles of best practice. The external political environment in which the NPA functioned also changed over time, resulting in a shift in the way the NPA progress reports were assessed.
