Make banks provide a special needs adviser in all branches
Make it law for banks to provide special needs advisers and services in all branches
Independent living is the ideal for everyone. Schools provide a lot of support for students with special needs but when they leave full-time education there is little available especially within the banking system. Most bank accounts do not take into consideration the support needed for these people and their carers. By providing specialist services and support independent living can be better achieved. Also debt and in some cases homelessness could be avoided for vulnerable people
