The Food Liaison Groups represent all 32 Scottish Local Authorities, divided into four (4) geographic areas across Scotland. The Groups provide a network to facilitate the collation of good practice identified by Local Authorities and to promote uptake nationally. This is a vital contribution to the operation of SFELC but it should be noted that the Liaison Groups are not a formal part of the SFELC structure. The Liaison Groups also report to the Society of Chief Officers of Environmental Health in Scotland (SOCOEHS) and provide a forum for generating professional advice and guidance on environmental health matters, sharing work experiences and good management practices.
