Responding to Economic Abuse: A National Debt & Money Advice Conference
About this Event
Delivered by Money Advice Scotland and Financially Included, this event places a strong focus on the growing impact of economic abuse and coercive control. Advice and support workers are uniquely positioned, often identifying coerced debt, financial manipulation, and restricted access to money. This conference will strengthen understanding and build confidence in how services recognise and respond to these complex experiences.
Through lived experience, expert insight, and practical learning, the programme will explore how economic abuse intersects with problem debt, poverty and financial exclusion. It will highlight trauma-informed approaches, partnership working and the role of policy in improving protection and outcomes.
This is an opportunity to connect, share practice and strengthen Scotland’s response supporting a free debt advice sector that delivers dignity, respect, and meaningful change.
There is an outlined agenda below. You will have the opportunity to select your AM/PM sessions at ticket checkout.
