Handling Complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service - Strategies for Success

Introduction

The Financial Ombudsman Service (‘FOS’) continues to go through a period of organisational change including a new Chief Executive Officer having taken up post a little more than a year ago in late 2022.

That change has implications for those involved in bringing or defending complaints at the FOS.

This short webinar will focus upon the key points to bear in mind when handling complaints at the FOS in order to maximise the possibility of a successful outcome.

It is suitable for a variety of professionals including lawyers (bringing or defending complaints), claims handlers, compliance officers, complaints handlers and others who are involved with complaints made to the FOS.
