The work of the Policy Department includes representing the profession to external agencies, including government, lobbying for improvements in health legislation and policies, liaising with other professional bodies and non-governmental organisations and promoting environmental health at European and international levels.

The CIEH has adopted a number of formal policies on key environmental health topics, These can be found in the Policy Briefing Notes section.
From time to time the Policy Department consults CIEH members on matters of interest to the profession. These consultations can be found on our members' website MyCIEH and, in the case of the more significant ones, also on the Membership Consultations page on this website.
