Police Welfare Conference 

Been quiet on the blog as I have been away for three days at the National Association of Police Welfare Officers AGM and training event. Really informative and rewarding and such a worthwhile event, did a presentation to around 70 Police Welfare officers on the ‘six options’ on getting out of debt and advised on bankruptcy and whether a Police Officer can go bankrupt and still keep his/her job. In majority of cases they do but they need to follow a certain procedure within their force.

BBA Banking Code 

Listened to Angela Knight, CEO British Bankers Association, yesterday afternoon on Radio 5 live, spoke positively on how the banks will turn matters around and that they need to work hard at regaining the trust from consumers. A good start would be to get your members to behave in a more professional manner Ms Knight by making them adhere to their ‘banking code’, in particular

page 25, and treat consumers in a sympathetic or positive manner? This I feel will be my next challenge.
