The hot water cylinder does not have a vent pipe coming from it's supply. So basically the hot water feed goes straight to the taps. However the cistern that supplies the hot water cylinder does have a vent pipe teeing off from it's supply to the hot water cylinder. I have never seen this before and was wondering if anyone knows if this is an acceptable position for the vent pipe or should I change it immediately????

Sorry but I'm not clear what you mean.
There is a pipe which goes out from the big cw cistern, into the hw cylinder, at the bottom. Do you mean there's a "vent" pipe teed into that which is taken up and over the cistern?
If so it's wrong; it won't let steam, in the event of an immersion heater's thermostat failure, or bubbles, in normal operation, escape from the cylinder.
Move it to the standard position!
