About the CPD course
Debt is still very much a taboo subject for many living with its consequences. Managing indebtedness or trying to seek help with it is difficult for most people but is more problematic for people in custody and their families in the community. This course will help learners understand the causes of debt; explore ways of managing money more effectively; develop an understanding of financial capability and financial inclusion and become aware of solutions to problem debt.
