C.A.R.E.• Consider Debt - Always consider debt as a possible underlying
determinant of poor mental or physical health
• Ask about debt - people may be too embarrassed to discuss their financial difficulties. Ask questions about money worries as part of your routine practice and care planning.
• Refer consenting clients to an expert money adviser - know which free and independent advice services are available; sign post or refer as appropriate
• Engage with advisers - referring to a money adviser is the first step. You can help by providing clear and relevant information; reassuring client about advice process; seeing client to review and check how they’re feeling.
