NAJ Impact Highlights – Year in Review 2025
Industry Representation
NAJ continues to influence trade and government discussions at the highest level. This year, the Jewellery, Silverware and Allied Crafts (JSAC) roundtable was formalised under the British Jewellery Council, with NAJ playing a leading role. Contributions included input to major government inquiries such as the Small Business Inquiry and the House of Lords Education Select Committee.
Professional Standards
Two new Codes of Practice were launched this year, Hallmarking and Product Safety, strengthening compliance support for members. The Association’s ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) service, NAJ Resolve, is on track for full Chartered Trading Standards Institute accreditation.
Education & Training
Education remains at the heart of NAJ’s purpose. In 2024, 564 students enrolled across the JET suite of professional courses, reflecting strong trust in NAJ learning pathways. Current modernisation work focuses on accessibility and inclusion, supporting neurodiverse and varied learning styles.
