Trading Standards

Trading Standards is a government service that ensures businesses comply with consumer protection laws. It aims to protect consumers from unfair trading practices, such as misleading advertising, unsafe goods, and fraud. Trading Standards officers investigate complaints, conduct inspections, and take enforcement actions against businesses that break the law. They provide advice to both consumers and businesses to promote fair trading practices. Ultimately, Trading Standards helps maintain market integrity, ensuring consumers can shop confidently, knowing their rights are upheld and that they are protected from dishonest or unsafe products.
