Caring for our customers

Our vulnerability framework

We recognise that the last few years have been particularly challenging for businesses which is why we decided, in 2024, to develop and launch our Customer Vulnerability Strategy.  

Since launching our programme we’ve:  

  • developed our Vulnerability Policy  

  • partnered with specialist training providers, BPA Quality, to roll out vulnerability training to our frontline colleagues  

  • established our Vulnerability Advocates to support continuous improvement 

  • partnered with the National Support Network (NSN) to provide external signposting support to our customers and colleagues (see further details below), and  

  • aligned our delivery plan to the consumer vulnerability ISO standard - ISO 22458 - to ensure our approach meets best practice guidance.
