The UK-wide Scores on the Doors Steering Group's Working Group on Consistency Issues will meet for the first time on Thursday 28 January.

The working group will provide recommendations to the steering group on a consistency framework, including internal monitoring arrangements for local authorities. It will also examine local authority peer review arrangements and auditing of the national 'scores on the doors' scheme for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and, where appropriate, for Scotland.

Details of the steering group and its working groups are available at the link below.

Scores on the Doors

The purpose of Scores on the Doors schemes is to allow consumers to make informed choices about the places in which they eat out and from which they purchase food, and, through this, to encourage businesses to improve hygiene standards.
