Nottingham City Council is undertaking an 8-week consultation on the Policy & Procedures Manual (save for appendices A-B & I-Q, which reflect already adopted policies & procedures).
The Department for Transport ‘Statutory Taxi & Private Hire standards’ published in July 2020 recommends that all licensing authorities make publicly available a cohesive policy document that brings together all their procedures on taxi & private hire licensing.
The principal purpose of the manual is to consolidate current policies and good practice guidance into a single document that aligns with the national standards and is easier to access so as to facilitate compliance. The aim is to emphasise the importance of the standards in underpinning safeguarding to protect the vulnerable and promote public safety.
A review has been carried out of the Council’s policy documents, conditions and procedures and the Council is consulting on those items that are proposed to change along with the main text of the manual (excluding appendices A-B & I-Q, which reflect already adopted policies & procedures).
