Overview

Public sector organisations have done a terrific job at assisting vulnerable people during this difficult time. However, providing support both remotely and virtually to vulnerable customers and service users is challenging for all involved.

This ‘Remotely Supporting Vulnerable Service Users’ In-House course will increase the awareness, capabilities and confidence of front-line staff in identifying and supporting customers who may be potentially vulnerable.

Run this course for your organisation to understand what vulnerability is and how it affects individuals; gain a better understanding of coronavirus vulnerabilities; recognise potential organisational risk of harm, and ensure you adapt to people’s needs.

During this course, delegates will explore the 4 key steps in supporting vulnerable service users.

Learning Outcomes

All the Understanding ModernGov courses are Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certified, with signed certificates available upon request for event.
