FCA consumer duty, support services and covid impact on protection – all the content from the may-july forums

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 May, June & July events covered subjects including the new FCA Consumer Duty, how the industry can better support mortgage advisers in having protection conversations and what impact the pandemic has had on sales. In this second of three end of year roundups on the forum, we bring you all the content from the May-July 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?
