The Consumer Challenge Quiz aims to help raise awareness of consumer issues amongst young people (aged between 14 and 17), with moderate learning difficulties.
The quiz is a fun and exciting way to assist students to find out more about their consumer rights and learn important life skills. Topics covered include food safety, consumer rights and under age sales.
Here is what one teacher said of the competition: "The children love this type of quiz......it was a great morning and the children were treated with so much respect."
In 2007 students representing four of the counties Special Schools took part: Round Oak School Leamington Spa; Woodlands School Coleshill; Oak Wood School Nuneaton and Welcombe Hills School Stratford upon Avon.
A team of students from the The Woodlands School were crowned winners and will now represent the County at the national final of the competition, one of the centrepieces of the National Trading Standards conference to be held in Manchester from 26th to 28th June 2007.
The final results:
1st Place: Woodlands School Coleshill
2nd Place: Round Oak School Leamington Spa
3rd Place: Welcombe Hills School Stratford upon Avon
