With the General Election a few weeks away, the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) has released its Manifesto for Pest Management, detailing our policy demands of the next government. Disease, Destruction and Distress The Manifesto for Pest Management details four key policy areas with which BPCA wants to see government engagement. They are: - PestSafe Develop a PestSafe scheme to proactively keep homes pest-free. Make the scheme mandatory for landlords and social housing. Encourage homeowners to demand PestSafe reports before they purchase a property. - Chemical regulation that encourages innovation Reassess GB BPR fee structure to ensure new and existing pest management products are available to protect public health. Review chemical regulations to encourage innovation rather than hinder it. - Restrict the professional tools to professional users Require professional pest controllers to be licensed to practice. Set a licensing standard equivalent to the voluntary standards that BPCA members adhere to. This should include a minimum training standard and a commitment to CPD. - Champion the TrustMark scheme Specify that all government-controlled estates must choose a TrustMark registered “government-endorsed quality” pest management company, wherever possible. The Manifesto contains briefing documents, policy recommendations, and key stats designed to introduce politicians, civil servants, and stakeholders to pest management. "Together, we created this policy document designed to get politicians to engage with pest management in order to help us to continue to protect public health and safety." -Ian Andrew, BPCA Chief Exec #publichealth #manifesto #pestcontrol #pest #pestcontroller #heath #safety
