CPD - Dealing with Vulnerable Clients
Vulnerability has become an important topic for any firm offering professional advice to individuals who may, as a result of their personal circumstances, be particularly disadvantaged when making key financial decisions. Thanks to the FCA and others, there is a reasonable supply of guidance with regard to the characteristics of vulnerability, and the impact . What is less clear is what exactly we are supposed to do when we have identified a potential problem. How do we record it, what can and can’t we say to the client and/or their families and what documentation should be in place both before and after vulnerability has been identified. The session will have a focus on Scots Law and FCA regulation but will be of interest to any one dealing with clients at a firm or individual level.

FCA Consumer Duty and Product Governance for General Insurance
The FCA want to see a higher level of consumer protection in retail financial markets, where firms compete vigorously in the interests of consumers and they wish to drive a healthy and successful financial services system in which firms can thrive and consumers can make informed choices about financial products and services. They consider that firms are not consistently and sufficiently prioritising good consumer outcomes and this causes consumer harm and erodes consumer trust. With final rules published on 27 July 2022 this talk will update you as to what now will be needed. This General Insurance focused session will also include an update on Product Value Assessments that have to be completed by 30 September (note the FCA have criticised insurers for their lack of progress with this) and have given brokers an extension of 90 days so as to prevent customer harm. Both brokers and insurers have an important role to play and this session will ensure you understand what it is you have to do. We will also cover the current position on multi-occupancy insurances following intervention by the government (very much part of the product governance and value assessments work).
