Vulnerable Customers eLearning

Overview

Protecting vulnerable consumers has been a key focus for regulators, such as the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), over the past few years.

This module explores the FCA’s guidance in relation to vulnerable customers and highlights the key issues that financial services firms should consider in relation to vulnerability. It also explains the practical steps that staff members can take to make sure that fair outcomes are achieved for vulnerable customers.

This module and the end assessment can be tailored to incorporate client-specific content.

Who is this for?

The module is suitable for all employees who require an overview of the topic. It can be tailored to include reference to your firm’s specific policies and procedures.

Where required, it can also be supplemented by additional face-to-face (or virtual) training for those members of staff who would benefit from more detailed and/or bespoke training.
