Vulnerable and hard to reach groups
To ensure that everyone is able to take part in the scheme, a number of measures will be put in place to protect vulnerable people from being disadvantaged. We will:

• Provide appropriate advice and assistance
• Translate key documents where necessary
• Provide information in other formats where necessary
• Develop partnership working with support agencies
• Undertake monitoring and regular reviews of the allocations policies
• Hold a list of customers who require additional help with the scheme
• Implement a full monitoring system to ensure vulnerable people are using the scheme successfully
