Assessing and recording vulnerability
A key part of any consumer vulnerability policy is the consistent assessment and recording of a client’s vulnerability. We’ve developed a Client Wellbeing Checklist to help make this easier.
Benefits for you include:
- Help to formalise your vulnerability process by consistently recording questions, results and vulnerability rating for each client.
- Assistance with monitoring whether a client’s assessed vulnerability is changing over time. This can be added to a client file, reviewed before meetings and updated as appropriate.
How does it work?
It's designed to help users assess a customer’s vulnerability across the areas highlighted by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA):
- Health – health conditions or illnesses that affect the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks
- Life events – major life events such as bereavement or a relationship breakdown
- Resilience – low ability to withstand financial or emotional shocks
- Capability – low knowledge of financial matters or low confidence in managing money
