The authority has a trading standards business plan in place for 2010/2011 that sets out the aims and objectives which underline the work of the service. This plan does not provide specific detail with regard to the delivery of official controls in relation to feed. This plan has not been approved.

The authority has currently one authorised officer available to carry out official controls under feed law. Qualification and training records demonstrate that this officer is appropriately qualified and was receiving continuing development training in accordance with the Feed Law Enforcement Code of Practice.

Inspections of imported feed businesses are not being conducted at the minimum frequencies required by the Feed Law Enforcement Code of Practice.

The record examined relating to official controls under Regulation EC No. 183/2005 did not demonstrate that the inspection had assessed compliance with all aspects of relevant legislation, as the wrong form had been used.

Sampling policies, procedures and programmes for feeding stuffs have been developed and are being implemented.

The authority does not have an internal monitoring procedure in place in relation to feed; however the authority acknowledges that monitoring procedures in relation to feed need to be further developed and implemented.
