The Office for Environmental Protection
The Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) protects and improves the environment by holding government and other public authorities to account. What we do: • monitor and report on the implementation of environmental law • advise government on proposed changes to the law and other environmental matters • review and report on government’s progress in meeting environmental goals and targets • investigate suspected failures to comply with environmental law by government and public authorities and enforce compliance where needed. The public can make a complaint to us where they suspect that the government or a public authority has failed to comply with environmental law. We were legally created in November 2021, and our work covers England and Northern Ireland.
