The two Sub-Committees are delegated to act on behalf of the main Committee in respect of those matters remitted for their attention and / or action. In particular they should provide expert advice and guidance on issues of strategic importance in the field of enforcement and likely impact of any of the Committee recommendations. Sub-Committees provide a network to collate good practice identified by Food Liaison Groups and Working Groups and promote uptake nationally.
Sub-Committees oversee the work of Working Groups. They have a key role in ensuring work is delegated appropriately to Working Groups and Task Groups and in working together to avoid duplication of effort. The Chairperson of each Sub-Committee liaises directly with the SFELC Chairperson / Honorary Secretary in respect of those items which require the consideration of the main Committee to ensure that appropriate recommendations / reports are brought before the Committee for ratification and further action.
