Recommendation 23

The Government should conduct a review of fixed penalty notices for covid-19 offences. The review should consider: • how effective the fixed penalty notice scheme has been for delivering public compliance; • what alternative options there might be for enforcing public health restrictions during a pandemic; and • whether the use of fixed penalty notices should be limited to certain types of offences in the future. These terms of reference could be considered as part of our suggested review by the UKHSA.
