Introduction 1.1 Citizens Advice and Citizens Advice Scotland welcome the Government’s consultation on reform of the consumer landscape. 1.2 We wish to ensure that the outcome provides consumers with access to the best possible information and high quality individual advice about their rights; that consumers have powerful advocates representing their views to the Government, industry and regulators; and that there are strong enforcement and consumer protection agencies ensuring fair and effective markets, basing this work wherever possible on evidence that our organisations obtain from providing services to consumers. 1.3 The Government has proposed some significant reforms to the consumer landscape so that in future the organisations which have the brief to look after and advocate for the consumer interest are those which are best known and trusted by consumers, are evidence based and have their feet firmly on the ground. 1.4 We agree that consumer advocates should have strong support from consumers, and citizens, if they are to have the right to speak on their behalf to influence businesses, regulators and governments. 1.5 To earn this support and trust, consumer advocates need to be totally rooted in and in touch with the consumer community; passionate about getting the best deal for consumers, whoever they are and whatever the issue, and competent and creative in arguing for and securing solutions.

    Powerful Partnerships

    Powerful Partnerships How Trading Standards and Citizens Advice Bureau can achieve more by working together for consumers About Consumer Empowerment Partnerships Consumer Empowerment Partnerships (CEPs) are networks led by a Citizens Advice Bureau. They provide local leadership and work closely with partners, in particular the Trading Standards Service, to improve consumer protection and empowerment through shared information on consumer problems, education and advocacy. There are eleven CEPs across England. North West – Cheshire West CEP; North East – Newcastle CEP; Yorkshire and Humber – Hull CEP; Central (regional lead) – Coventry CEP; Central – BRANCAB CEP; East Midlands – Northampton CEP; East – Cambridgeshire CEP; London – Citizens Advice-led CEP; South East (regional lead) – Kent CEP; South East – Oxfordshire CEP; South West – Plymouth CEP For more on CEPs visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk/ceps Working together for the same consumers Trading Standards and Citizens Advice Bureau are working to help the same local people – those being scammed, targeted by doorstep fraudsters, ripped-off by rogue traders or struggling to get a fair deal. The Citizens Advice service • offers individual advice on consumer problems; • runs consumer education workshops and awareness-raising campaigns; • undertakes advocacy campaigning to get consumers a fair deal. Trading Standards can take tough enforcement action against criminals and bring rogue businesses into line. In many areas, they can also offer advice to consumers and engage in preventative education work. Both Trading Standards and Citizens Advice Bureau are part of a national network, but the services are different in every area reflecting local needs and pressures. Together we have an unparalleled understanding of what local consumers need to feel both empowered and protected.
