Description
  • The Function List is a hierarchy of service groups or activities that a public sector body performs to support information referenced at service group level, rather than in the detail of the full Service List. The high level headings are designed to meet similar objectives regardless of departmental or municipal responsibility. It transcends organisational structure and gathers similar activities into a logical collection that would be globally understood.
    Use - to facilitate systems and human readable formats reference top level headings that collect services from differing organisations and countries in logical themed groupings. This enables local international sub-sets both to cross match and feature local services in order that comparisons may be drawn and services delivered to a common definition regardless of nationality.

Could we add a function called public protection or protective services to this list. it would allow us to bring together a load of food, health and safety, infection control, housing, EH and trading standards activities under a heading which relates to how these functions work in reality--R M Buchanan 16:07, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I think public protetction is the most commonly used terminology - I've certainly come across it working with other LAs. As we already have an environmental protection term in the list I think we need to fully understand the scope of each and make sure lower level terms are associated with the most appropriate. If anyone has any suggestions for second level headings under Public protection please let us know - and also which terms currently under environmental protection would more appropriately sit under public protetction. --NGill23 14:33, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
