It is estimated that over 130,000 people in the UK live with MS.As well as having the potential to affect physical ability and mobility, balance, strength and coordination there are also many invisible symptoms such as fatigue, issues with bladder, bowel or cognition. MS can impact on aspects of daily living, employment, activities, relationships and overall physical and mental wellbeing.Combine all these social, physical, and mental health factors and it highlights why people with MS may need support from supportive community-based organisations and services and their employers.We know that professionals such as social care workers, housing workers, health services staff or other voluntary community and social enterprise sector workers play a key role in supporting wellbeing outcomes for their communities. MS-UK want to share our knowledge to help you increase your understanding of MS and the support available to the MS community.The hour long training session will cover<ol style="color: rgb(106, 114, 127); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(106, 114, 127);"><li style="color: var(--paragraph_main_colour); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: var(--paragraph_main_colour);">What is MS?</li><li style="color: var(--paragraph_main_colour); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: var(--paragraph_main_colour);">Myths and preconceptions</li><li style="color: var(--paragraph_main_colour); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: var(--paragraph_main_colour);">Symptoms that may impact on wellbeing</li><li style="color: var(--paragraph_main_colour); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: var(--paragraph_main_colour);">A lived experience of MS</li><li style="color: var(--paragraph_main_colour); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: var(--paragraph_main_colour);">Symptom management tips</li><li style="color: var(--paragraph_main_colour); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: var(--paragraph_main_colour);">The kind of support that people with MS may need on their MS journey</li></ol>All MS-UK&rsquo;s work is driven by our values and includes the voices of people living with MS.

The fines issued for these non-compliances total over &pound;570,000 plus costs. The absence of staff training, or requirement to complete additional training, was noted in a number of these cases.Many of the breaches resulting in enforcement action involved failures by the fee earners to conduct appropriate due diligence, adequately check the source of funds and/or wealth or recognise and report red flags.
