About this listen

Raising the Standard: Traders for a safer Kent is a series created to help members of Kent County Council's Trading Standards Checked scheme make sense of a range of everyday issues that affect their business, from consumer law and cancellation rights to the steps that traders should be taking to keep themselves and their customers safe as we learn to live with COVID.


The podcast will help members provide safe and reliable local trades for the Kent community, protecting Kent’s most vulnerable consumers and stamping out the rogue traders who prey on them.
