Details

Priorities

  • operate lawful inspection, investigation, compliance and enforcement arrangements
  • maintain clear working relationships with Acas, tribunals, HSE and other competent authorities
  • build reliable intelligence, risk-targeting and partnership capability
  • maintain controlled records and auditable decision-making
  • publish clear enforcement policy, governance and reporting information
  • support DWS fair-work policy without taking over policy, adjudication or specialist-regulator functions

Delivery remains subject to the powers, resources and functions lawfully assigned to the Agency.
