We will take a look at the different types of complaints, and the applicable processes and timescales for handling them. We’ll also explore the impact of the new Consumer Duty on complaints handling with particular focus on good outcomes for our customers. Through using interactive exercises and realistic scenarios we will run through examples of complaints and the ways we should and should not handle them."
