Part 1: Financial Guidance Etc Standards set by the single financial guidance body Section 9: Setting standards
Section 9 requires the single financial guidance body to set standards from time to time which must be complied with by those who deliver its pensions guidance, money guidance and debt advice functions. As such these standards will apply to both the body itself and to the body’s delivery partners. The standards which the body has proposed must be approved by the Financial Conduct Authority before they are finalised and must be published.
	When deciding whether to approve the proposed standards the Financial Conduct Authority must take into account the needs of the people who are using, or who may use, the information, guidance and advice services which will be provided by the body and its delivery partners.
