The Directors of Public Protection Wales (DPPW) is the collective organisation of officers heading up public health protection services within local authorities, with the following Mission Statement:
'To protect personal, environmental, economic and social well-being through policy, regulation and education. By these means to create a safe living and working environment for the communities we serve.'
Public Protection services include all aspects of licensing, environmental health and trading standards. DPPW has two constituent Heads of Service groups - Wales Heads of Environmental Health and Wales Heads of Trading Standards. Under these groups, there are a selection of specialist/technical panels, and groups focusing on generic aspects of delivery such as training, enforcement, and performance management. We also have representation on an extensive range of fora, advisory groups and steering committees.
