I am a consumer…how can CCAS help me?

As a consumer, we know how confusing it can be to ensure you purchase goods and services from reputable traders. By choosing to purchase from our approved businesses who display the CCAS logo, you can be confident that you are buying from a business you can trust.

Please take a look at our consumer leaflet - How can CCAS help me?

Look out for the Codes logo

By looking out for the Approved Code logo shown here, you can be confident that the business you are purchasing from can be trusted. Businesses are regularly audited and monitored to ensure they comply with the high standards set by their approved code of practice (code sponsor). By using an approved trader, you will have protection above and beyond your normal consumer law rights.
