Request for Input into Red Tape Consultation

The Coalition Government is currently undergoing a huge drive to identify and cut unnecessary red tape that impact on business.

In the past, lobby groups have been criticised for complaining about the burden of red tape, without providing specific examples of where this burden could be reduced. The Chamber needs these specific examples in order to push for a better trading environment.

We would like to know if you have any specific examples regarding employment issues–relating to employing somebody (e.g. permanent workers, interns etc.). If you know of other examples within your organisation, such as Business Law, environmental and local regulation, transport, workplace Health and Safety, please share on this forum or alternatively email anj.handa@yourchamber.org.uk

Some barriers have already been flagged up through out recent skills survey and the focus group meetings which followed. A report on the results of the skills survey can be found at:
