Cost of Living and Income Maximisation
Half day – 4 hours
Split – two 2-hour sessions
2-hour webinar
Since late 2021, the prices for many essential goods in the United Kingdom began increasing faster than household incomes, resulting in a fall in real incomes. This has caused a cost of living crisis for millions of households across the UK.
This course will cover the best ways to maximise income, the principles of financial wellbeing and how to ensure clients are receiving everything they are eligible for. It is for frontline staff who are looking to widen their knowledge of available financial support.
By the end of the training, attendees will understand:
- The causes of the cost of living crisis
