CASE STUDY
We have delivered a series of webinars for Ascot Lloyd, looking at both the basics of financial vulnerability and the practicalities of how to support clients in vulnerable circumstances.
Our clinical and regulatory knowledge enabled their advisers to build on their existing knowledge and by using case studies around bereavement and dementia, we were able to bring this sensitive area to life and highlight how this fitted into their current internal documentation processes.
With over 300 attendees, the training was warmly received;
"I found both sessions to be excellent. I was able to compare my current practices with my clients to the areas and situations being described in the webinar, and this both highlighted where my approach in this area is good and where I needed to improve. The training has given me even more confidence for discussions with potentially vulnerable clients."
