Under-age Sales and Localisation (Pentland Auditorium)
Families, lives and communities are all affected by underage sales of tobacco, alcohol and knives. We discover whether universal methods can work successfully or whether local methods used for dealing with underage sales work better. We expect this session to involve a robust discussion of our role in both the education and repetitive test sales approach required to prevent young people from putting themselves in health and harm's way.

Carbon footprint, energy cost, efficiency and scarcity, micro generation and home improvement all impact on trading standards. Conference will take a 'whole house' approach to our role in reducing carbon emissions and waste. Consumer Direct receives thousands of complaints a year concerning sub-standard services. With funding overstretched how do we educate and enforce successfully? And how do we deal with green issues such as new businesses offering energy saving products and services?
