Trading Standards take part in a range of educational activities with all
areas of the community and work with many organisations.
Our education aims to help ensure that we:
- Tackle the areas of most consumer detriment
- Target the most serious rogue traders
- Protect the most vulnerable consumers
- Help legitimate businesses to trade well
- Tackle the areas compromising consumer safety
- Manage the health and welfare of animal livestock.
If you would like us to consider attending an event, especially when it meets
one of the above aims, please contact us with as much information as possible.
