Our monthly protection forum is an opportunity for advisers, insurers and other industry professionals to come together and share ideas, offer opinions and discuss a wide range of important topics. Our first four events of the year covered a diverse and important range of subjects including adviser wishes for 2021, using claims statistics to help build consumer trust and the importance of product flexibility. In this first of three end of year roundups on the forum, we bring you all the content from the Jan-April 2021 forums.
Our first event of 2022 will be held on Tuesday January 11th, from 12:00pm-2:00pm.
The session will focus on:
- A new Consumer Duty – What does the FCA’s updated consultation paper mean for the industry?
- Speeding up GP information – How can we speed up the uptake of electronic GP reports?
