“Official notice confirms a code of practice is valid”

When the regulator publishes a notice about a code of practice under section 223(1), it proves without a doubt that the code was properly made under section 222. This means you can trust that the code is official and valid. The regulator is the person or group in charge of making sure the rules are followed. When they publish this notice, it shows that they have checked and approved the code of practice.
