Under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 no person may carry out electrolysis, acupuncture, tattooing or ear-piercing within the borough unless they are registered with the Environmental Health & Licensing Division. Generally, they must carry on their practice at a registered premises (although they may provide this service at a customers premises upon request).
To register you must complete and return the following:
Registration needs to be done only once and does not need to be repeated each year (unless new staff are employed).
Note: Registration does not apply to a medical practitioner, persons working under their supervision or premises where their business is carried on; there is similar exemption for dentists in respect of acupuncture.
Once the application form(s) and fee have been received, an Environmental Health Officer will visit the premises to ensure the requirements of the Bye-laws have been met and, if appropriate, a certificate of registration will be issued. Failure to comply with the requirements is an offence and carries a maximum penalty, on conviction, of a £1,000 fine.
