Webinar: The Consumer Duty Skills Toolkit

This session will be run in two webinars of one and half hours each. The second webinar is scheduled for 4th April.

The Consumer Duty Skills Toolkit

Two key pillars of the new Consumer Duty are consumer understanding and consumer support. With a move towards outcomes-based regulation, the need for a skills toolkit to stay on the right side of the regulation is critically important.

During this session, you will learn skills based around:
➢ working in an outcomes-based regulatory environment
➢ communicating in a way that aids accessibility and understanding
➢ checking understanding to facilitate informed decision-making
➢ recognising and handling behavioural biases throughout the customer journey
➢ recognising and dealing with vulnerable customers

The session is interactive and includes exercises and simulations that will help you practise the skills learnt and how to evidence outcomes. It is aimed at those working within the UK insurance and financial services industry.
