Policy by Lead Officer Area

TSI influences a vast array of policy debates concerning consumer protection, economic, environmental, fair trading, health and social wellbeing issues through the expertise provided by our Lead Officer network.


Lead Officers are trading standards professionals who are specialists in their field. These fields cover everything from animal health & welfare to weights and measures.

Meeting with four peopleThey work with the Trading Standards Institute, dedicating their time to ensuring they are fully briefed and up-to-date in that specialist area. They use this knowledge and insight to inform TSI policy, work with the media and are extremely active in government discussions and consultations. They do all this in addition to their day-jobs in local authorities and blue chip companies, allowing TSI to sustain its lobbying effectiveness.
