Trading standards

What we do

Medway Trading Standards aims to make Kent a better place to live and do business.

We enforce legislation to protect consumers and make sure that businesses can compete fairly. We provide

  • support and advice for businesses
  • consumer advice

We are also responsible for:

  • taking action against businesses that deliberately or persistently break the law, particularly those engaged in door to door sales.
  • restricting access for children and young people to harmful age-restricted goods.
  • maintaining food standards and helping people to make informed, healthy choices.
  • controlling farm animal welfare and disease.

Further information

Trading Standards Community Medway is a more detailed website that covers the work of the Medway Trading Standards Team. It was set up in partnership with the Trading Standards Institute to provide up-to-date news, information, consumer and business advice sheets and product recalls.
