Young consumers of the year

What is it?

This is a national competition in a knock-out format for teams of four pupils aged between 14 and 17 who compete against each other in local, regional and national heats.

Test your knowledge on a wide range of consumer topics such as

• Food and health 
• Money and finance 
• Consumer protection 
• Europe and travel 
• Safety
• Social responsibility and the environment

Do you know

• How old you have to be to buy a scratch card?
• What a CE mark on a toy means?
• What the currency of Spain is?
• Which country does Parma Ham comes from?

If you do, why not enter a team in our 'young consumers of the year' competition?

What will I get out of the competition?

• You'll learn about your consumer rights
• You'll improve your general knowledge
• You'll be linking in closely to a number of curriculum studies like citizenship

The competition is free to enter and Southwark Council trading standards will provide study packs and assistance.
