The Council held a very successful 3rd annual Great Retirement Money Debate in central London on 10 July 2017. Hosted by consumer champion Liz Barclay, Mind Over Money explored how financial services professionals could meet the health, wellbeing and vulnerability challenges of older consumers. Watch our event video here.
The event saw presentations by speakers from across the public, private and voluntary sectors, spanning law, mental capacity, fintech, retirement housing, research and the finacial services arenas; followed by interactive Q&A’s, with questions from the floor by some of the 120 attendees.
The first half of the event examined the definition of mental capacity, what an ageing population means for the financial services industry and the challenges for government and policymakers. The second session then considered the practical steps professionals should take to meet the needs of older consumers, particularly those with mental capacity issues.
A full report will follow shortly.
