Norfolk Trading Standards policies

Trading Standards' core function is to build a safe, fair and legal marketplace for Norfolk, helping businesses to succeed and safeguarding communities.

In carrying out our regulatory activities we look carefully at what the law is trying to achieve and ensure we apply the law appropriately and proportionately to meet important outcomes for both people and business.
