You could also call this:

"Checking if people are following the prostitution laws"

Illustration for Prostitution Reform Act 2003

When you are inspecting a place under the Prostitution Reform Act 2003, you can only use the inspection powers in section 26 to check if someone is following the rules in section 8 or section 9. You are checking if they are doing what they are supposed to do.

If you find something that is not related to these rules, you can still tell the Police or another agency about it.

You can report any other offence or suspected offence you find to the right people.
