Helen Lord from VRS joins us as we consider indicators of vulnerabilities, how to support people who have such indicators and how the VRS aims to help

Hosted by the Money Guiders England Network

This session is for frontline workers who ever support people with vulnerabilities. They could be a general money guider, a housing officer, a mental health worker, or anyone who finds themselves having conversations with people with vulnerabilities that might include the money guidance they need.

Attendees will learn

• Indicators of vulnerabilities including life events (e.g. bereavement, redundancy, retirement) and personal characteristics (e.g. age, disability) that may impact on money / income / risk / vulnerable circumstances
• How to support people with such vulnerability indicators
• How the Vulnerability Registration Service aims to support vulnerable people
