It will need to promote and communicate its remit to its stakeholders i.e. the general public, public and non-governmental organisations, and other interested groups. In addition, it will also need a mechanism for these stakeholders to feed-in information to ESS on any concerns they may have about the effectiveness of public organisations in complying with environmental law.3.
