LV= is hosting a number of free, informative webinars for advisers looking at the financial resilience of specific groups, and how advisers can help them.

The insurer’s recent ‘Income Roulette’ report found that 33% of people in the UK are not confident they could handle a personal financial crisis and so the need for a safety net to protect against financial shocks is vital.

LV= argues that income protection can give consumers peace of mind that they’d be protected if they were unable to work for a period of time, yet very few people have protection in place. LV= is hosting these webinars to help advisers sharpen their skills and make income protection a core part of the conversation when speaking to clients about protection.

The CPD accredited sessions will take place on Wednesday 29 November and Friday 1 December at 10am-10.45am. Focusing on the three risk groups highlighted in the report – Middle Britain, Self-employed, and Generation Debt – LV= will explore attitudes towards debt and savings, what protection they have in place and common objections. They will also discuss safeguarding client’s income; explaining the need for protection, the importance of advisers and what cover options are available.

Justin Harper, head of marketing and industry pelations, at LV=, said: “At LV=, we want to ensure as many people as possible are protected against personal financial shocks. Our ‘Income Roulette’ report highlighted the staggering number of people who would struggle should they find themselves unable to work for a period of time.

“We are hosting these webinars to help advisers know how to identify, and speak to, clients who may be in this situation. It is just one way in which we continue to support advisers and ensure their clients are protected against all eventualities.”
