Consumer advice

Our Trading Standards team provides advice to help you understand your consumer rights and stay safe from scams.

What to expect from a Trading Standards Officer

To help protect you from bogus callers, please remember that a genuine Trading Standards Officer will not:

  • visit you without showing official ID;
  • put pressure on you to make a decision;
  • or ask them to leave;
  • object to visiting at another time when you have a friend or relative present;
  • ask you for money or bank details.
