OPSS - Community funding for product safety
Details
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has responsibility for protecting people from product related harm and ensuring consumers can buy products with confidence.
To empower more consumers to choose and use products safely the OPSS is inviting organisations to bid to deliver community-based and/or consumer-focused product safety awareness and education projects.
They are particularly interested in funding projects that take place in-person at community settings, and/or make product safety messaging more accessible.
This year they are funding two distinct product safety projects:
- Second-hand goods: proposals to deliver community-based and/or consumer-focused awareness and educational activity which addresses how to purchase and use second-hand goods safely. Projects can include advice on buying goods from online marketplaces and in-person purchases.
- Product safety activities targeted at the needs of disabled consumers: community-based and/or consumer-focused awareness and educational activity targeted at the needs of disabled consumers
