Recommendations

Recommendations (the sheriff's words)

In all the circumstances of the case there are no formal recommendations to make given the changes that have already been made to the system of working by the council, other than to recommend that all external workers are supplied with the council’s Health & Safety Handbook (the Blue Book).

Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
