A loan shark is someone who lends money, they rarely give any paperwork and if repayments are missed they often use violence and intimidation to get their money back.
Faced with this problem would you or your staff know what to do? A national, dedicated team is cracking down on loan sharks and we’d like to tell you more.
The free training will give you more in-depth information about the project background, key things to look out for as a frontline worker, the relevance of loan sharks for your organisation and a better understanding of information and intelligence. We will also show you the impact that loan sharks have on victims and communities which will be your client group. Loan sharks also impact upon crime and disorder.
This training will benefit staff who have an involvement with households' finances to raise awareness of how the symptoms of financial distress may present themselves and give an overview of key resources available to your client group. Rent teams, community safety teams, repairs teams and anyone who is involved in providing a front facing service with tenants. The training will be around one hour in length with a Q&A session.
This training is being promoted with Birmingham Social Housing Partnership.
The training will take place online via Microsoft Teams. An invite will be sent to you 48 hours before your booked date.
