Species-level taxonomy

The request was successful.
From: Susan Davis

Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to learn about Natural England's approach to
species-level taxonomy.
Please could you tell me, for each taxonomic group which it works
with, what approach Natural England uses to ensure that the
species-level taxonomy it uses for that group is up-to-date and
accurate? How, for example, do you ensure that appropriate,
consistent and current species concepts or criteria are applied
within and between groups, and how do you ensure that individual
changes proposed in the scientific literature are evaluated, and if
appropriate, adopted?
What processes and information sources are used to support these
approaches, what advisory bodies does Natural England use for this,
and are changes adopted on a periodic or a rolling basis?
Thank you
