What legislation do we need to be aware of?

As a trading shop, the committee and management staff will need to keep up to date with relevant legislation. The Rural Retailer publication, by the Rural Shops Alliance, is a great source of information. You can view the recent publication here.

Legislation to consider includes:

• Alcohol licensing
• Underage sales
• Disability Access
• Food Safety
• Everyday recordings (such as waste and temperatures)
• Recording incidents
• Insurance required for volunteers

If there is any legislation that your committee is unsure of you can always pose a question on our retail forum or contact us directly and we will be able to find an answer for you.
