Model Byelaws consultation
Introduction
The Byelaws lay down requirements for practitioners to follow to ensure that any treatment provided to a client is carried out in hygienic ways to ensure that any risk or transmission of a blood borne virus is effectively controlled.
See the proposed Byelaws below. There is also a summary breaking down the changes from the current Byelaws to the proposed ones in the 'Summary of main differences' box.
Summary of main differences
The main differences between the older legacy Byelaws and the proposed Dorset Council Byelaws are the fines on conviction are raised from £400 to £1000.
Dorset Council will have the ability to regulate cosmetic piercing and semi-permanent skin colouring in Purbeck, East and North Dorset areas which we currently do not have.
There is also the need for the addition of a sign to say no eating or drinking in the treatment area.
