Tobacco control enforcement policy

This policy outlines the principles we use to guide our actions and decisions:

• proportionality – the action we take is proportional to the seriousness of the non-compliance
• transparency – we publish information on how to comply with the legislation
• consistency – we make sure our decisions and actions are consistent
• confidentiality – we make sure when investigating complaints to keep our information confidential
• timeliness – we investigate efficiently so as to minimise costs and delays.

It also describes the range of enforcement options and what they involve.
