Local authorities and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are responsible for enforcing health and safety legislation. London environmental health services successfully coordinate interventions both across London and together with the HSE.
Alehm is the main forum for planning and coordinating this work across London, with the HSE Partnership Manager attending Alehm meetings, and a London Environmental Health manager being seconded to work in the HSE's London partnership team.

- submit your authorities LAE1 return for 2010-11; and
- update the prosecution database on the HSE's extranet.
