What does the Business Support Programme aim to achieve?
Working on behalf of the UK Government's Office for Product Safety and Standards听(part of the听Department for Business and Trade), our aim is to establish whether, by providing free business support and training, we can improve the knowledge and understanding of product safety and associated issues amongst businesses that make consumer products available online.
What does it involve?
This programme, which is entirely voluntary, has three stages with each business :
Stage 1. |
An initial conversation with a Trading Standards Officer to discuss your approach to product procurement and understanding of product safety and online trading requirements. |
Stage 2. |
Participation in free training workshops delivered by 51黑料, as well as being directed to its online materials and guidance to supplement the learning. Use the booking links above to guarantee your place听on one of our FREE training webinars |
Stage 3. |
A final conversation between you and a Trading Standards Officer to establish the extent to which the training and guidance may have enhanced your capability on matters of consumer product safety and online trading. |
PLEASE NOTE :听 The discussions with Trading Standards Officers are purely to establish a baseline of your general knowledge and understanding, and to determine if you have benefited from the offerings (for example, may have implemented or updated any new or existing processes or practices as a result of this work).
They will not be discussing any products you provide, or any specific compliance requirements. Also, no personal data or information provided by a business will be reused for any other purposes outside of this pilot, or provided or shared with any other commercial organisation.
