Caerphilly trading standards volunteers needed

News | Richard Gurner | Published: 12:00, Friday October 11th, 2013.

Young volunteers are being sought by Caerphilly Trading Standards to help carry out test purchases on age-restricted products.

The team carries out frequent test purchasing exercises using child volunteers who attempt to purchase a variety of age-restricted goods under the instruction of an authorised Officer.

Volunteers must be aged between 13 and 16½ and will receive a certificate of achievement for their assistance.
Volunteers often work in pairs sometimes in the company of a friend or sibling.

All volunteers are trained in what to say and do on the exercises and are supervised by an officer at all times.

If you or someone you know would like to take part in future exercises or wish to find out more about the scheme, please contact Trading Standards on tradingstandards@caerphilly.gov.uk or 01495 235291.
