Consumer Duty compliance: Data driven strategies to turn FCA insights into action In December 2024 the FCA released the findings from its review of how firms prepared their first annual Consumer Duty board report. The FCA highlighted good practices as well as areas for improvements that firms should consider before submitting their reports ahead of the 31 July deadline.

In this webinar we will be joined by industry experts to explore the key takeaways from the FCA’s review and the guidance it has provided.

Join us as we discuss the FCA’s recent findings and what they mean for firms preparing their next reports. We’ll explore how organisations identify and categorise vulnerable customers, using data to build a more holistic view of their needs and ensuring compliance through effective reporting.

Our speakers will also share insights on how firms are creating targeted support, measuring its impact and demonstrating good outcomes in their board reports.

Harnessing data for regional impact: empowering local leaders to drive change Devolution is one of the core missions of the new government, promising a strong focus on giving local areas more control over services. To tackle economic inactivity, and with many people across the UK needing support, it’s vital that local authorities deliver effective, targeted interventions. The success of tailored, region-specific approaches depends on how well local areas can harness data to drive change.

Local organisations, from Mayoral Combined Authorities to county councils, need to deliver these crucial services. Accessing and using the data insights required to implement efficient and effective programmes is a challenge and, without localised data, decision making can become less accurate. This leads to inefficient resource allocation and missed opportunities to reach those who need help the most.

Data analysis offers the key to overcoming these challenges. By harnessing the power of local data, authorities can get the accurate insights they need to target support where it will be most effective. With the right insights, local areas can design and deliver services that are more tailored, timely and impactful, ensuring the right residents get the right support at the right time.

Proven results from current data led initiatives already show the transformative potential of this approach.

Join this webinar to hear from guest speakers who have successfully implemented data driven campaigns. They will showcase real world examples of how they have come together to achieve measurable outcomes.

We’ll also explore how these data insights can be applied to address key issues like economic inactivity, youth unemployment and social isolation to deliver lasting change across regions.

On Target: Protecting vulnerable households from the inflation crisis

The Centre for Social Justice calls for a 13.3% increase to Universal Credit, to rise by a further 8.5% in January 2023, based on new analysis by Policy in Practice.

Policy in Practice analysed data from over 114,000 low income households to determine the best course of action amidst the energy crisis.

Our analysis for the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) has been shared with the next Prime Minister and shows that increasing Universal Credit in October will ease the effects of the upcoming energy price rises.

Increasing Universal Credit by 13.3% in October means that support will be proportional to household size, making it better targeted than flat rate support.

The government must also do more to help middle income households and small businesses. The impact of the unprecedented rise in energy costs is being felt across the board.
