PIMFA Webinar: Tackling Non Financial Misconduct and the FCA’s new Rules and Guidance
From 1 September 2026, wealth and advice firms will be subject to the FCA’s tougher stance on non-financial misconduct. This means that serious cases of bullying, harassment, or violence that lead to certain types of disciplinary action must be reported to the regulator, not just handled internally. On 12th December 2025, the FCA published its Policy Statement (PS) 25/23, confirming final Handbook guidance for firms in relation to tackling non-financial misconduct.
In this FREE 60-minute webinar, employment lawyers Chris Holme and Shadia El Dardiry, joined by regulatory lawyer Anousheh Bromfield of Clyde & Co cut through the complexity to address:
- What the new Rules and Handbook guidance mean in practice;
- What practical steps firms should be taking between now and 1 September;
- What are the implications going forward in terms of balancing employment law with regulatory duties.
