ROF Programme Objectives

Develop and implement a new sustainable approach to regulation that leverages business behaviour change to deliver benefits for consumers. Design and implement a regulatory delivery model that ensures an effective approach to regulating food safety across the food chain, makes use of all available data and is financially sustainable in the long term.

ROF Timeline for Change

  • Digital solution testing for registration &

segmentation

  • Food Law Code of Practice – consultation on

segmentation proposals

  • Enhanced registration pilot leading to go-live

in April 2019

  • Draft sustainable funding proposal
  • PA National Inspection Strategy trial

SLIDE 4

What we are doing

  • Undertaking

research to improve insights into food business attitudes to registration.

  • Developing a digital

platform for the registration of food businesses.

  • Phased approach :

Discovery and Alpha phases completed.

Enhanced Registration

What is it?

  • Knowing more

about businesses so that we can help new businesses to understand their responsibilitie s for producing food that is safe and what it says it is.

SLIDE 5

What’s Next?

  • Beta phase – user

testing.

  • Designing the process

for a new business start up.

  • Developing a comms

strategy for driving businesses to enhanced registration to provide them with relevant advice for new businesses.

  • Build strategic third

party alliances promoting need for registration. What difference will it make?

  • FSA to have full
  • versight of all food

businesses.

  • LAs using their

resources to maximise public protection.

  • Reassurance for

consumers that a robust system is in place.

  • FBOs have a user

friendly process with easy access to tailored advice and support.

Enhanced Registration

SLIDE 6

What we are doing

  • Engaging stakeholders

to change the way we assess food safety risks.

  • Developing a data

driven approach to risk assessment.

  • Targeting resource to

address the challenges that face those who have responsibility for food standards enforcement.

Segmentation

What is it?

  • A new risk

management approach to determine the nature, frequency and intensity of the controls for food businesses subject to.

slide-7
SLIDE 7

What’s Next?

  • Engage FBOs, LAs and

regulators to discuss how the changes might work in practice.

  • Survey other regulators to

identify best practice.

  • Survey food standards

practitioners to understand current issues and what improvements could be made.

  • Launch a project with LAs

to capture detailed food business data.

  • Trial new approach to risk

assessment. What difference will it make?

  • Regulators will be able to

better target their resources towards businesses that need the most support.

  • Focus on those

businesses that refuse to fulfil their obligations.

  • Businesses committed to

food safety will be recognised by the nature, frequency and intensity

  • f regulatory oversight.
  • Provide consumers with

more confidence in the regulation of FBOs.

Segmentation

SLIDE 8

What we are doing

  • Testing the concept of

National Inspection Strategies with a group

  • f Primary Authorities.
  • Evaluate and determine

how National Inspection Strategies can be implemented within ROF.

  • A challenge for NIS – to

consider how FHRS would operate for the premises that fall within an NIS.

  • Developing guidance

with stakeholders for Primary Authorities who wish to develop an NIS for their partnerships.

National Inspection Strategies

What are they?

  • Frequency, nature

and intensity of

  • fficial controls for

a group of businesses will be determined by the Primary Authority.

  • A Primary Authority

could decide that it has sufficient evidence that food safety is being well managed and consider that a more tailored style

  • r reduced

number of regulatory interventions are warranted.

slide-9
SLIDE 9

What’s Next?

  • Establishing how the FSA

will maintain oversight of Primary Authorities who develop and implement an NIS.

  • Developing an approach to

how NIS is aligned with the Food Law Code of Practice intervention rating scheme. What difference will it make?

  • It will reduce the level and

frequency of intervention required from LAs at individual outlets freeing up resource to focus on poorly performing business.

  • Reduces the regulatory

burden on a business when it has demonstrated compliance.

National Inspection Strategies

SLIDE 10

What we are doing

  • Introducing more ways

for businesses to provide evidence they are doing the right thing.

  • We are setting the

standards that regulated private assurance providers will have to meet.

  • De-prioritising Certified

Regulatory Auditor (CRA).

Regulated Private Assurance

What is it?

  • An expanded

formal and recognised role for the private assurance schemes already

  • perating.
slide-11
SLIDE 11

What’s Next?

  • Working with British

Standards Institute (BSI) to formalise the FSA’s approach to setting standards.

  • Defining what constitutes

competency in an assurance role. What difference will it make?

  • Clearer standards that will

help PA professionals to meet our requirements.

  • Compliant businesses

will have their PA formally taken into account by the regulator.

  • Consumer protection to

be maintained.

Regulated Private Assurance

slide-12
SLIDE 12

What is it?

  • Businesses should meet

the costs of regulation, which should be no more than they need.

  • Regulatory Futures Review

recommendations:

  • a move to greater

regulated private assurance and earned recognition.

  • the regulatory

model should be underpinned by full cost recovery for regulatory activities. What What we are doing

  • Baselining costs cross

the food and feed delivery landscape

  • Exploring funding models

used by other regulators

  • Building knowledge base
  • f other current funding

regimes

Sustainable Funding

slide-13
SLIDE 13

What are they?

  • Testing the ability of new

technologies to assist / predict / support food safety work What we are doing

  • Three-month trial, five

businesses in the Cambridge area replacing paper-based food safety management with a digital solution

  • Proof of Concept work on

data exchange between LAs & FSA

  • Testing how data

gathered at registration can be shared with the regulator and cross- referenced against locally held records

Feasibility Studies – Tech

How can you get involved?

  • We want to continue to listen to the views of those with an interest in food

standards and safety and to capture the insights and knowledge that already exists in an open and transparent way.
