Learn more about Money Guiders
Money Guiders is a programme run by The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), which seeks to help money guidance practitioners improve their knowledge, skills and confidence. Everything that the Money Guiders programme offers centres around the Money Guidance Competency Framework - it's there to help you better understand the full breadth and depth of money related issues that fall outside of the regulated financial advice service sector - the things you talk to your customers about.
The Money Guiders Scotland Network is part of this programme and offers free networking and learning events (online and in-person) as well as an online community space, aimed at helping you build skills, knowledge and confidence in delivering money guidance. Staff and volunteers delivering any level of money guidance are welcome here.
How confident do you feel providing money guidance? Use the confidence checker to review your skills and knowledge and get some pointers on areas to focus on to help build your money guidance confidence.
