What our Enforcement professionals say about working for OPSS
“The work of the Online Regulation Unit is varied and I am continually learning in this role. The team deals with a wide range of product, including toys and consumer electricals, and where products are found to be unsafe, we take enforcement action. I’ve had the opportunity to share learning with Trading Standards colleagues of working with online platforms to tackle product safety as well as input into a global sweep for unsafe products to measure trends and inform future awareness raising campaigns. With online shopping increasing, I feel my work makes a real difference to consumers.”
