T&EA offices are the administrative and support premises of trade and employers' associations. These organisations represent businesses and employers within particular industries or areas, and provide a shared point of contact for members seeking information, guidance or representation on matters affecting their work. Their activities may include monitoring policy and regulation, communicating members' views to public bodies, and supporting discussion between employers, workers and other organisations. Services vary according to the association and the sectors it covers. Members may be able to access employment and workplace guidance, industry updates, research, model documents, training or professional events. Some associations also help members understand changes to legislation and standards, provide networking opportunities, or offer routes for raising concerns about common industry issues.
