Consumer Duty - Action Planning Workshop
New dates coming soon
Online Training
The new Consumer Duty sets higher and clearer standards of consumer protection across financial services, and requires firms to put their customers’ needs first.
The CII are piloting an action planning workshop in October to assist you in further developing your approach to implementation of the new Consumer Duty regulation. This workshop will be rolled out alongside our wider package of Consumer Duty support in the coming months, but if you’d like early access and to help shape the future proposition, please register below.
This one-day, highly interactive workshop aims to further develop your understanding and action planning with practical ideas and advice to support you in your early stages of implementing the Consumer Duty expectations into your business.
What are the Consumer Duty Rules:
- A new Consumer Principle that requires firms to act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers.
- Cross-cutting rules providing greater clarity on our expectations under the new Principle and helping firms interpret the four outcomes (see below).
- Rules relating to the four outcomes we want to see under the Consumer Duty. These represent key elements of the firm-consumer relationship which are instrumental in helping to drive good outcomes for customers.
These outcomes relate to:
- products and services
- price and value
- consumer understanding
- consumer support
What will I get by attending the Workshop?
This 2x half days, highly interactive workshop will focus on key areas of the business linked to consumer outcomes and effective governance, and drill into the range of options which can be considered to meet those outcomes.
We also review the principles of effective action planning and consider the realities (and hints to minimise pain) of driving change in an already busy environment.
Breakout group work throughout the day culminates with a targeted exercise where attendees work flexibly with others to develop and enhance their own plans.
Workshop Objectives
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify the key areas for Consumer Duty compliance
- Identify the key actions within these areas
- Explain the rationale behind the action planning in terms of consumer benefit and regulatory interest
- Ensure their plans are refined to improve the likelihood of success
- Plan their own in-house activity to deliver better consumer outcomes
