The Food Liaison Groups represent all 32 Scottish local authorities (LAs), divided into four (4) geographic areas across Scotland.
The Groups provide a network to facilitate the collation of good practice identified by LAs and to promote uptake nationally. This is a vital contribution to the operation of the Scottish Food Enforcement Liaison Committee (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.
