Energy Advice Training
Course Description
Dorset Community Action and Citizens Advice East Dorset & Purbeck are joining together to help tackle the problem of fuel poverty with the Energy Outreach Project.
This interactive session will look at how you can spot people at risk of fuel poverty and how you can help. This session and the accompanying information pack will give you the tools you need to signpost them to the help they need.
The session includes:
- What fuel poverty is and how it affects people
- Giving basic energy advice
- Information and signposting to help maximize income, improve the home’s fuel efficency and use energy economically
- How to share this information within your team
The trainer will take you through exercises on how to talk to someone about fuel poverty, giving advice & information and building on your existing skills.
