Debt Advice to Trust Staff

The Authority has a requirement for a debt advice agency (or agencies) to provide a money, debt and welfare entitlements advice service to Trust staff, both physically on its sites and remotely. By 'debt advice' our intent is this incorporates debt, housing and welfare advice, as well as signposting for support in other areas. For clarity, we do not require the service to provide regulated financial advice as defined by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We do, however, expect providers to have relevant permissions from the FCA for debt advice, unless they qualify for an exemption by law.
