The current crisis has significant implications for organisations and businesses across the UK and it is, therefore, inherently important that local authorities take a proportionate approach with these new powers, and the Guidance from OPSS identifies what they need to do. Join Julie Barratt (EHP, Barrister, Legal Author and proprietor of Julie Barratt Legal Training) and Una Kane (Environmental Health Manager(Food and Safety) Rother District Council as they take a deeper look at:

- The legal requirements for business closures and restrictions
- How officers are taking a designated officers to enforce the requirements
- Working proactively with local businesses with information sharing
- Working in new ways to tackle failures to comply

Local authorities are well used to accepting additional responsibilities and being in the frontline for enforcement responsibilities, so the issues raised above will not be insurmountable. However, we are here to offer more support, clarity and insight to the regulations and their intended uses.
