We recognise that the law can be complex and businesses can have difficulty navigating the different laws that apply to them. With this in mind, while frequently consulting with businesses and professionals along the way, we have developed and are continuing to develop the ERWIN website.
The ERWIN website provides businesses across England and Wales with consistent guidance and fewer mixed messages, by:
• Simplifying and interpreting, often complex, legislation;
• Presenting sector specific advice and information which is appropriately targeted advice for each business type/business activity so businesses can see at a glance, what you have to do to trade safely, effectively and within the law. This approach also reduces the amount of time your business has to spend checking legislation to see whether it is relevant and how it applies to your particular activities;
• Prioritising legal requirements to help your business pay particular attention and allocate appropriate resources to those activities that require the most immediate action and which will affect the safety and health of consumers.
• Being easy to access, available 24/7, and simple to understand;
• Giving clear instructions on how your business could comply with legislation;
• Provide a one-stop-shop website for all regulatory services advice
In this tough economic time, it is important for local communities to work together effectively and efficiently to achieve objectives and ensure success. We hope that ERWIN helps businesses to achieve this.
