Consumer education
This role also means that from 1 April 2013, we became the Government-funded provider of consumer education in Great Britain, taking over the Skilled to go, Doorstep Selling and Know Your Consumer Rights programmes from the Office of Fair Trading (OFT).
We've preserved the OFT consumer campaigns materials, which are available on request. Please contact education@citizensadvice.org.uk for more information.
Consumer policy research
Our consumer policy research covers a wide range of regulated and unregulated markets - allowing us to identify the problems consumers face in particular markets as well as drawing comparisons and lessons about the policies and practices commonly found in a number of markets. Our research allows us to develop practical policy solutions for the problems our clients and the wider population experience in consumer markets.
