About this talk

The Consumer Duty makes it clear that all clients should receive good outcomes, including those in vulnerable circumstances. Whilst vulnerability isn’t confined to those in later life, it is important to understand and respond to characteristics and circumstances that may be present. Capacity in later life can fluctuate, so knowing how much assistance is needed and how this can vary depending on the specific decision is important. In this session, Tish covers how to approach some sensitive issues, the role and duties of attorneys and what firms can do to protect clients from foreseeable harm in later life. By viewing this session, you’ll be able to: - Understand consumer challenges in navigating financial services whilst in vulnerable circumstances - Recognise the responsibilities of substituted decision-makers - Discuss how to assist clients with reduced capacity to make decisions
