This course will help delegates recognise and follow the necessary steps in complaint resolution, to implement an investigation process, understand the timelines for acknowledging and final resolution, and know who is responsible internally for handling and logging complaints and when they should be reported to the FCA. This course will also cover Forbearance and Safeguarding.
