About the guidelines

The guidelines are the first to be produced for the industry, providing detailed advice on how to identify vulnerable consumers, such as those living with dementia or mental health issues and other mental incapacities, and how best to communicate with them. The guidelines also include details on how managers can support their staff to ensure responsible contact with vulnerable consumers.
