CIEH to initiate independent review of policy Advisory Panels

The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) is today announcing its intention to initiate an independent review of our policy Advisory Panels as part of a process of continual improvement to place our members at the heart of what we do.

The CIEH policy Advisory Panels were created in 2017 to introduce a member-led approach to our policy and campaigning work. In early 2024 we introduced two new Panels along with some changes in approach. Working hand-in-hand with members on policy matters enables us to harness the knowledge and experience of our members to inform policy positions and campaigns as well as input into government consultations and enquiries. We are immensely grateful for all the hard work of our Panels and to our members who volunteer to be part of them.

To ensure the Panels continue to serve for public benefit on environmental health matters and to enhance their effectiveness, CIEH intends to review their design and operation. The review will be independently led to ensure this exercise is robust. Details of the review, the independent lead and the findings will be published on the CIEH website.
