THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH
|
|
| Founded in 1883, the Chartered Institute
of Environmental Health (CIEH) is a professional and educational
body, dedicated to the promotion of environmental health
and to encouraging the highest possible standards in the
training and the work of environmental health professionals. |
| The Chartered Institute has approximately
9,500 members, most of whom work for local authorities
in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and approximately
7000 of whom work in Wales. As well as providing services
and information for its members the Chartered Institute
provides information to government departments and evidence
to them on proposed legislation relevant to environmental
health. |
| In 1993 the Chartered Institute became
the World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre for
Environmental Health in Europe. |
| In 2002 the Chartered Institute established
a regional office in Wales in order to facilitate direct
liaison with the National Assembly for Wales, local authorities
and non-governmental organisations within Wales, promoting
and representing Chartered Institute of Environmental
Health policies in a Welsh context. |
