What do councils do to curb the problem?
Although trading standards officers spend a lot of time educating retailers about the law and their responsibilities, one of the main ways is to carry out ‘test purchase’ operations. Underage volunteers, accompanied by police and trading standards officers, are instructed to try to buy an age-restricted product. Depending on the operation, it could be anything from alcohol and cigarettes to knives and solvents. In order to gather more evidence, trading standards officers often use covert surveillance to back up their volunteers.
