The bundle covers a wide range of real customer situations, including vulnerability, bereavement, suicidal thoughts, anger, understanding, neurodiversity, older customers, first time customers and respectful communication. It's been designed to give frontline teams simple, useful guidance they can apply straight away, while also helping organisations strengthen training and day-to-day customer support.

This customer end of life policy gives organisations a practical template for supporting bereaved customers, people arranging affairs before death and families or representatives contacting you during an already difficult time. The document is provided in Word format so it can be tailored to your organisation, internal procedures and related policies.
