Funeral Director Code of Practice: business and regulatory impact assessment

15 Enforcement, Sanctions and Monitoring

It is intended that this measure will be monitored and enforced by Inspectors of Burial, Cremation and Funeral Directors, appointed by Scottish Ministers using powers provided in the Burial and Cremation (Scotland) Act 2016 (‘the 2016 Act’). It is intended that powers of Inspectors to enforce compliance with the Code will be provided in forthcoming inspection regulations, the content of which were subject to public consultation between August-November 2023.

A BRIA (and any other applicable impact assessments) will be provided for the inspection regulations once the detail of those regulations has been settled on.
