Advice NI Members Day
Meeting Members' Needs - Planning for Digital Advice Services
The Advice NI’s Members Day held on Monday 19th June received great feedback from our members with over 40 attendees taking part in the activities during the day.
The theme of the event was focused on preparing members to deliver digital advice services with a particularly emphasis on the challenges faced with the looming implementation of Universal Credit.
As part of the event, Advice NI organised an exclusive live Demonstration of ‘Universal Credit full digital service platform’ hosted by the Department for Communities at Castle Court in the morning. This was followed by a series of afternoon sessions, workshops, feedback/QA and live voting on Advice NI’s priorities moving forward: -
Comments on the Members Day included: -
“Very relevant event for the Advice Sector”
“I particularly enjoyed interfacing with the Universal Credit staff, the run through of the application process and the group work in the afternoon”
“Very informative of what is to come with Universal Credit and the potential issues”
“Would like to hear more information regarding best practice delivery of advice services digitally”
“Need more sessions around dealing with implementing digital advice and ideas on how to adapt”
“More of the same!”
More information regarding Advice NI’s next Members Day event will be published soon!
