We have reviewed our processes and systems for our Supervision Hub to ensure that our policies and training programmes are up-to-date. The training review and sign-off processes in the Supervision Hub have been reviewed and strengthened to ensure the training materials are aligned with the wider organisation. We will continue to regularly review these policies and training. All of our supervisors have attended a briefing session to reiterate our position regarding regulated firms that carry out unregulated or unauthorised activity. This is to ensure that we do not reassure consumers inappropriately. Our policies and induction training programmes have also been reviewed to ensure that they clearly articulate our position.
