Safer Retailer
Following on from the success of Best Bar None, the Safer Retailer Award was developed by the SBCC specifically for the retail trade.
It covers the main issues and
legislation concerning the sale of age restricted items such
as
o Alcohol
o Cigarettes and
tobacco
o Lighter refills, solvents and
spray
paints
o Fireworks
o Knives, knife blades, razor
blades,
firearms and
axes
o DVD, video/computer games
and
lottery
sales.
The accreditation process examines
topics such as security, noise reduction, disability issues and
local mandatory conditions imposed by the licensing board.
Depending on the partnership in each area the police, trading
standards officers, and existing community safety partnerships
carry out assessments of premises that wish to take part in the
scheme. The SBCC can provide all the relevant documentation for the
Safer Retailer Award.
