information and chat over career opportunities and entry requirements. Our display highlighted the country of origin of


everyday items such as clothing, food products, toiletries and entertainment, asking the students to think about how these products end up in store available for purchase. Having been provided with some merchandise by

the user-friendliness of these lists and believes that HM Government needs to introduce an electronic means of accessing this data, which would make it easier for traders to check the lists. This would increase awareness and overall compliance. What is prohibited under each


financial sanction depends on the financial sanction regulation. Regulations are imposed by the: • UN’s Security Council – as a member the UK automatically imposes all financial sanctions created by the UN.


• European Union – as a member of the EU, the UK imposes all financial sanctions created by the EU.


• UK government – a small number of financial sanctions are created by the UK government.
