Standing up for strong Welsh standards
We all want to live in a country where the food we eat and the things we buy can be trusted, where the natural environment is protected, our homes and workplaces are safe, and our rights are safeguarded.
This is why it’s so important that all the things we love about Wales are protected by strong rules and high standards. It’s these rules and standards that make sure Welsh food, Welsh workplaces and the Welsh environment are safe and well-protected.
At Unchecked we’re working for a fair and prosperous Wales, where sensible protections, properly enforced, allow us all to flourish.
Let’s stand up for common-sense rules and protect the things that make Wales the country we all love.
Senedd candidates: Sign the pledge
Ahead of May’s Senedd elections, we’re calling on all candidates and political parties to listen to the people of Wales, and commit to maintaining and strengthening public standards – standards that are good for Welsh business, good for Welsh agriculture, good for the Welsh environment and good for Welsh communities. Find out who’s already signed the pledge here.
