Competency to work at the Ports and Borders (non port local authorities)This course is designed for local authorities that do not have a port or ERT in their area. Port local authorities sometimes have to contact other local authorities, particularly since the EU Exit, to request assistance in tracking/tracing/investigating businesses and goods and therefore the 1 day session will inform these local authorities of what Port local authorities do and how they may engage with them There is a separate course for port local authorities over four half days. Learning outcomes include: Overview of working at the GB border, Border Operating Model, legal & practical use of powers, how Border Profiling works, roles & responsibilities of different bodies work at the port, documentation, implications for inland authorities, dealing with intelligence and referrals following a border intervention on a local importer. For non-port Local Authority Product Safety Practitioners: |

Awareness and basics on Construction Products RegulationsIt is anticipated that OPSS will become the national regulator for construction products from 2022. OPSS and MHCLG are working on a new legal framework that will set appropriate and clear safety obligations on businesses supplying construction products. The scope of construction product regulations is to be extended, to cover all products used in building and construction projects, to strengthen national and local regulatory enforcement powers, and to increase national oversight of the whole system. Learn about how the new regime and legislation will work in practice. This one day course will be taking place over five days in May. Initially limited to two per local authority. |
