An authorised person may enter any premises and exercise the monitoring powers for one or more of the following purposes:
determining whether a provision subject to monitoring under this Part has been, or is being, complied with;
determining whether information subject to monitoring under this Part is correct;
determining a matter subject to monitoring under this Part.
The monitoring powers are set out in sections 19, 20, 21 and 22.
However, an authorised person is not authorised to enter the premises unless:
the occupier of the premises has consented to the entry; or
the entry is made under a monitoring warrant.
If entry to the premises is with the occupier’s consent, the authorised person must leave the premises if the consent ceases to have effect (see section 25).
