VULNERABLE CUSTOMERS POLICY

As members of the Consumer Code of Conduct we will provide the best possible service to vulnerable consumers and provide

extra support and care when required. We will identify consumers who may be vulnerable and offer solutions to make an informed decision and take steps to ensure that vulnerable consumers understand all key documentation such as the contract, guarantee, and the quotation.

As a company, we will recognise and understand that a consumer may be vulnerable for any reason and as a result may make it more difficult for them to fully understand the information they require to make an informed decision about our company’s products and/or service. We will actively suggest solutions to help the consumer make informed decisions more easily. This may include:

  1. Offering key documentation in an easier to read form to a partially-sighted consumer.
  2. If the consumer is elderly or their first language is not English then we will offer the suggestion that they should seek to involve a family member or trusted friend to help with digesting of difficult information, when dealing with our company.
  3. Our sales staff will be able to provide larger font documentation when selling in the customer’s home.
  4. Sales visits will be re-scheduled if the vulnerable consumer is alone at the time of visit.
  5. Our Company also has obligations under the Equality Act, meaning that we will not discriminate against people with a disability. We will make, ‘reasonable adjustments’ to our premises or to the way we provide a service to make it accessible to people with a disability.
