What you gain :
Meaningful CPD

Strategic insight
Gain a clearer view of the current pressures, risks, and challenges facing those entering the profession.
A leadership contribution that lasts
Support the next generation and play a role in developing capable, confident Trading Standards professionals.
Connection across the profession
Build relationships beyond your own authority or organisation, broadening your perspective.
Very rewarding to mentor a colleague at the start of their career in Trading Standards, hearing about both new, and very familiar, challenges for officers working on the front line - Amanda Farrell
Who can apply?
Mentors should meet two of these three criteria:
- Chartered member or maintaining up-to-date CPPD
- Significant experience in Trading Standards or the wider regulatory space
- Experience coaching, training, or mentoring others
Time commitment : The onboarding presentation, developed alongside professional leadership coaches, recommends a 6-month relationship with a one-hour commitment per month, but this is unique to each pairing.
