    AQA GCSE · Question 05.1 · Active Citizenship

    Identify two organisations that help consumers make a complaint.

    Shade in the two correct answers.

    A Citizens Advice
    B Electoral Reform Society
    C Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)
    D Greenpeace UK
    E Ombudsman
    F A Trade Union

    How to approach this question

    Read through the list of organisations. For each one, consider its main purpose. Select the two that are specifically involved in helping individuals with problems they have as consumers (i.e., people who buy goods and services).

    Full Answer

    The two correct organisations are A (Citizens Advice) and E (Ombudsman). - Citizens Advice offers free, confidential advice on a wide range of issues, including consumer rights and how to complain about faulty goods or poor service. - An Ombudsman is an official appointed to investigate individuals' complaints against a company or public organisation. There are ombudsmen for many sectors, such as finance, energy, and property.
    - **A (Citizens Advice):** Correct. A primary function is providing advice on consumer rights. - **B (Electoral Reform Society):** Incorrect. They campaign on issues related to voting and elections. - **C (EHRC):** Incorrect. They deal with equality and human rights issues, not general consumer complaints. - **D (Greenpeace UK):** Incorrect. This is an environmental pressure group. - **E (Ombudsman):** Correct. They are an independent body for settling disputes, including consumer complaints. - **F (A Trade Union):** Incorrect. They represent workers in relation to their employment, not as consumers.

    Common mistakes

    Selecting organisations that help people in other contexts, such as a Trade Union (which helps employees) or the EHRC (which helps with discrimination cases).
