A free webinar in conjunction with National Numeracy
 

This insightful webinar will delve into numeracy's critical role in shaping financial literacy and its direct impact on individuals' financial well-being.
 

The session will highlight the widespread issue of low numeracy in the UK and explore how this contributes to significant challenges in personal finance management, vulnerability to debt, and financial exclusion.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Link Between Numeracy and Financial Literacy: You'll understand the connection between numeracy and financial literacy and why improving numeracy is key to successful financial education.
  • The UK Numeracy Index: You'll discover how the UK Numeracy Index helps target areas with low numeracy for better interventions and how it could help you better support your customers on a more localised scale.
  • Supporting Financial Education: You'll gain insights into the importance of combining numeracy and financial education to enhance financial literacy across the UK.
  • Inspiring Colleagues: Understand the impact of staff low numeracy levels and how it may affect their ability to communicate financial concepts effectively to customers. Learn how staff can use National Numeracy resources, such as the Challenge, to improve their own number confidence and support customers in making more informed financial decisions by boosting their numeracy skills.

Who should attend?
This webinar is ideal for financial professionals interested in improving financial literacy, supporting consumer financial well-being, or addressing low numeracy within their communities.

National Numeracy was established as an independent charity in 2012 to help raise low levels of numeracy among both adults and children and to promote the importance of everyday maths skills.
