FCA Non-Financial Misconduct Rules: Closing the Screening Gap Before September 2026

A webinar with Fama and Giant Group on FCA NFM compliance 

The FCA’s updated expectations around non-financial misconduct (NFM) mean Fitness and Propriety (F&P) is no longer just about financial probity and technical competence. Serious bullying, harassment, violence, and discriminatory behavior now directly impact an individual’s suitability for regulated roles.

Standard background checks alone miss these behavioural risks, leaving a critical screening gap for UK financial services firms.

In this on-demand webinar, experts Dan Haslam, Rachel Holland, and Ben Mones break down how UK financial services firms can transition from legacy screening to a modern, comprehensive FCA-compliant process.

You’ll learn about: 

• The new FCA rules: How the FCA's focus on employee safety, conduct, and non-financial misconduct changes your regulatory obligations under COCON and FIT assessments.
• Blind spots in traditional screening: Why standard identity, DBS, and reference checks can miss serious behavioural risks, and how to gain complete visibility.
• Compliant risk management with social media screening: How to leverage public data and social media screening ethically without infringing on privacy, protected characteristics, or personal lives.
• Audit-ready governance frameworks: How to establish clear escalation paths across HR, Compliance, Risk, and TA to defend decisions during regulatory reviews.
• The 5-step action plan for FCA NFM compliance: Practical, immediate steps to map role-based conduct risk and connect screening findings directly to F&P assessments.

If you are an HR, Talent Acquisition, Risk, or Compliance leader in a regulated firm, this webinar is essential viewing. All attendees will receive a complimentary Proof of Compliance Template to support audit documentation.
