This series includes webinars, accompanied by detailed guides and resources, aimed at helping you understand and navigate the standards and regulations affecting our sector.

Each webinar session will outline the topic, provide practical insights and offer actionable steps to help you implement these practices within your business. The webinars will include an open Q&A session, allowing you to engage with UKFT and industry experts to get your specific questions answered. Alongside the webinars, we will provide guides and resources that provide detail about the regulations. These materials will cover regulatory standards, explain the regulations impacting the UK fashion and textile industry and offer guidance on the obligations for your business, including what you need to comply with and when.
