Vulnerable Customer Audit Checklist

This document guides you through all of the main points for consideration:
- Understanding vulnerability in your client base
- Vulnerable customer policy
- The customer journey
- Access to technology
- Compliments and complaints
- Communication with customers
- Documentation
- Skills and capabilities of staff
