Under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 each Local Authority in Scotland is given the option of Licensing a number of different activities if they occur within their area, for example Taxi's, Window-Cleaners, Public Charitable Collections etc...
Where an Authority introduces a license any window cleaner either sole trader or employee is required by law to hold the individual Authorities license where they ply their trade.
It is an offense to operate without a license and those caught can be reported to the Prosecutor Fiscal Office.
The Scottish Licensed Window Cleaners Network (SLWCN) was launched on the 1st March 2006. We are an independently run, self-funding, internet-based network. The SLWCN is dedicated to raising the profile and standard of the window cleaning industry in Scotland.
As an independent network, the SLWCN is working closely with various organisations in order to improve the window cleaning industry for genuine, professionally minded licensed window cleaners.
Organisations we are working alongside with include other window cleaning associations, the Scottish Executive, Local Authorities, Health and Safety Executive, Scottish Police Forces, the media and Industry and Commerce.
