Going Away To University Or College? We’ve Got The Advice You Need!
Students moving away from home to college or university this coming Autumn are being offered a free pack of advice and information covering everything from tenancy agreements and safety in rented accommodation to consumer rights and advice on buying a second hand car.
Warwickshire County Council Trading Standards Service has produced the pack, and says Mark Ryder, Head of Warwickshire Trading Standards, it will prove particularly useful for students leaving home for the first time:
“Leaving home for the first time can be very daunting but we hope that our advice pack will give students the information they need as they make the transition from living at home to living independently. And parents may find the advice useful too!”
· Buying a used car
· Buying goods and services
· Unfair tenancy terms
· Home working and bogus job offers
· Safety in rented accommodation
· Credit and debt advice
· Scams
All the information is available to download from the Trading Standards website http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/tradingstandards
