Importance of Compliance
I’m fortunate to have a career where I’m familiar with legislation- although I come from a food background so have had to do many hours of reading for non-food requirements / product safety for Little Shanti Gifts.
Legislation exists to keep people safe and it’s essential to buy from reputable businesses who do things properly and are aware of their legal responsibilities. We only buy from UK wholesalers who can provide us with documentation and confirmation of any legal requirements. For example the wooden animals in our Animal Sound Therapy Box have a UKCA mark- this is a UK Conformity Assessed Marking demonstrating the products comply with standards. Any toy with play value needs this, and is a legal obligation for a seller to ensure products requiring this have it. It is also the sellers responsibility to ensure products have any required labelling and insurance.
If in doubt of where to start with legal obligations as a business, you can speak to your local authority.
