Role of the TCF Consultative Group

We set up the TCF Consultative Group to help us take TCF forward and enable industry and consumer groups to feed their views into the development of our TCF work.

We held the first meeting in November 2004. The group is made up of representatives of trade associations from a range of key industry sectors, and representatives from consumer groups. The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), the Financial Services Practitioner Panel and Consumer Panel and a personal finance journalist also attend. Members of the group then report discussions back to the organisations they represent. We host the meetings, prepare material in advance and Sarah Wilson, our Director of Retail Firms and leader of the TCF project, chairs the meetings.
