North Western Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority 30 Indicator Workstream Objective Lead Officer(s) Intended Outcome SC2A: Ensure our enforcement risk register and strategy are published and available on our website. Our Compliance and Enforcement Strategy was originally drafted in 2012 and, whilst it has been intermittently updated, is in need of a wholesale review. This review will be conducted this year, and any significant proposed changes will be brought to the committee and, where appropriate, consulted on with our stakeholders. We do not currently have an enforcement risk register or similar. This will be created this year. Our vessel and survey plans will be reviewed and updated accordingly. Head of Enforcement Met SC2B: Work with other regulators to achieve consistent quality, application, and enforcement of management measures. This year, NWIFCA will continue to foster our relationships with partner organisations, in particular MMO, NE and EA. Wherever possible, new opportunities for partnership working with other regulators and non-regulatory organisations will be sought to help support our work. CEO Head of Enforcement Head of Science Met SC2C: Compile records of enforcement activity in a standard format, provide them to NIMEG and publish on our website. We need to improve the timeliness within which we record our inspection and enforcement activity, to ensure records are available to our partner organisations (namely MMO) and publicly to our stakeholders. Inspection and enforcement records will be uploaded on the national system within one week of the activity / action taking place, and onto our website within one month. We will continue to supply enforcement statistics to NIMEG to support the IFCAs’ national enforcement work. Head of Enforcement Head of Administration Working towards SC2D: Adopt the national code of conduct for IFCOs, review annually and publish on website. We will review our current code of conduct for IFCOs to ensure it is up-to-date and relevant and, once this is complete, publish it on our website, as it currently is not on there. Head of Enforcement Met SC2E: The code of conduct for IFCOs is reflected in work objectives and annual appraisals for all warranted officers. Following the review of the code of conduct, IFCOs will be trained on this and reference to it will be made in all IFCOs’ future work objectives and performance appraisals. Head of Enforcement Working towards Success Criterion 2 IFCAs implement a fair, effective and proportionate enforcement regime.
