Peer to peer learning event

Hosted by the Money Guiders England Network

The Money Guider's England network is run by Quaker Social Action (QSA), an anti poverty charity based in London.

QSA helps people on low incomes in east London and across the UK to seek solutions to the issues affecting their lives.

Founded 150 years ago by the religious group Quakers, today QSA is an independent charity inspired by Quaker values like equality in our work against poverty and injustice.

The session will focus on discussing ethical dilemmas that money guiders may face when working with vulnerable individuals, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and maintaining professional boundaries, including safeguarding.

This will be an opportunity for attendees to:

• Discuss the signs that there may be a safeguarding issue and the causes of safeguarding issues in general

• Share how to deal with a safeguarding issue, the policies that you use and the places that you signpost people to
• Learn from other money guiders -by getting insights and resources from fellow money guiders including tools that they're using to help them in carrying out their role

Why attend this event

1. To learn from and network with other money guiders

2. To share best practice

3. Provide a safe space for learning and peer support

Money Guidance Competency Framework

Money Guidance Foundations: Self management. C2 Improve practice. Practitioners should be capable of accepting feedback/criticism in a positive manner and assessing its validity and importance. They should seek to evaluate their own performance, either against set targets and goals, or by reflecting on their own work and actions. Setting and prioritising clear and realistic goals and targets for own development and using a range of valid and reliable evidence to assess own work, which includes an assessment of the effects of own behaviour and values on others, is a critical part of practitioners’ improving practice/continuing professional development.

C3 Continuing professional development

Practitioners must keep up to date with legislation, codes of practice and guidelines, understanding the importance of complying with national, local, professional and organisational requirements. It is imperative that practitioners maintain an understanding of the limitations of their role, their own limits and those of the service. Finally, they must maintain the required soft skills necessary to deal with customers e.g. effective communication skills.
