The remit of the Consumer Services Community Safety Officers is to reduce anti-social behaviour resulting from the underage sale of age restricted products such as alcohol and solvents. The officers use a combination of enforcement practices, educational programmes with young people and the community and retailer training. Whilst working in partnership with other agencies, the remit of the CSCS team is distinct and provides a valuable resource for local communities, young people and education providers and retailers faced with legislative requirements.
