Trading Places
Trading Places is an opportunity for trading standards, environmental health, fire safety and licensing officers to gain valuable insight into how businesses deal with regulation, by spending time with a business. In response to demand, this two-way learning experience is now provided in two formats.
Two-day format (larger businesses) – Day one gives a strategic overview of the business concerned, extending to its key functions and in particular the management of compliance. Day two is spent at the sharp end, looking at how customers are served and involving a range of practical activities.
One-day format (smaller businesses) – A group session for a number of businesses is coordinated by their trade association or representative body. It involves short presentations designed to encourage discussion of experiences of regulation, as well as exploration of ideas. It is followed up with learning visits by officers to participating businesses at mutually convenient times.
Trading Places visits are organised by the Local Better Regulation Office. CPPD hours accredited by TSI are available for participants. To see the current list of available placements please visit the LBRO website.
