Local Environmental Auditing and Management System
There are no fixed dates for our LEAMS training and it is organised for organisations on request, or a practical number of attendees have indicated interest.
The course is preferably delivered in person due to the practical element of surveying but can be arranged online on request, dependant on previous experience.
Our LEAMS course can also be customised on request.
Our Local Environmental Audit and Management System (LEAMS) is the only national indicator for street cleanliness. This one-day course provides a detailed understanding of the LEAMS process for local authority officers who conduct LEAMS audits and includes the legislative background, along with a practical exercise to learning and understanding of the methodology.
