Littering from Vehicles Enforcement

^

When litter is thrown from a vehicle it can be difficult to identify the offender. 
 
Legislation to tackle litter louts and those who mindlessly throw rubbish from their vehicles enables local authorities to issue a penalty charge notice to the keeper of a vehicle from which litter is thrown, even if the identity of the person who threw the litter cannot be established.
 
This course provides an in-depth understanding of the civil procedure, to include the appeal and adjudication process, which must be adopted by any local authority looking to include this enforcement tool in its armoury to deal with litter and help improve environmental quality.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the training, candidates will:
- Fully understand the complexities of the civil procedure and layered appeals process for dealing with littering from vehicles.

National Enforcement Academy & continued competence courses

^

Delegates are steered though the process of environmental enforcement, phases of enforcement, roles and responsibilities, conflict management, environmental legislation and its application in practice, witness statement skills, investigations including interviews under caution, the appeals process and preparing evidence to prosecute offenders. 

The highlight is a real life case (ideally held in a courtroom) where delegates are given the role of a witness and are cross-examined by barristers to gain experience of giving oral evidence in court, as well as acting as the jury to determine the outcome of the trial.

Feedback from clients

This is really good and easy to read, a perfect reference document with all the key offences/legislation together. Something we had when I started 10 years ago, but nothing since then! So really helpful especially for newer members of staff but also experienced officers.
Nicola Tansley - Chelmsford City Council

This is great for practicing officers and fellow professionals to have a clear and concise go to toolkit which covers many different areas and topics of enviro crime and ASB all within one book rather than having to refer to different and often out of date codes of practice.
Pat Mackshea - Maldon District Council

Environmental legislation is spread over a number of different acts and regulations and can be very difficult to navigate, but this toolkit consolidates all the key legislation in a user friendly way with lots of important points to note that can be used as a prompt and clear reference point for any officers working in an environmental enforcement setting.
