Course overview

When a consumer is in vulnerable circumstances, it can compromise their ability to make wise and informed financial decisions.  Businesses need to be conscious of this, especially those businesses which provide financial products or services. They need to ensure that customers are not excluded by way of accessibility or disadvantage, and they also need to ensure that vulnerable customers are treated fairly.

If you make the effort to understand the needs of all your customers, you can empower even the most vulnerable to represent their own interests, and protect them from potential harm.
