SO WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT By providing a flexible and inclusive service, organizations can make their services accessible to a larger number of consumers, giving them confidence that their needs can be met. By recognising signs of vulnerability and dealing with them appropriately, service organizations can increase satisfaction and build confidence in their brand. This British Standard gives the organization clear guidance on how to recognize consumers who could be vulnerable, and how to provide inclusive services so that they are able to meet the needs of all consumers and are also in a stronger position to comply with the UCPD [2], the CPR [8] and other pertinent legislation, such as the Disability Discrimination Act [3] and equality and human rights laws. The Board, chief executive officer and senior management shall demonstrate a clear commitment to the principles specified in 3.2 to 3.10 through, for example, disability equality training, raising awareness and issuing policies, practices and codes of conduct. These shall be clearly communicated down to employees at all levels within the organization to ensure that consumers who might be vulnerable are identified and served appropriately.
