Training of front-line health and social care professionals, as well as other professionals to give fuel poverty advice and refer as appropriate.

2. Co-ordination and management of the provision of physical interventions in the form of boiler/heating system repairs and boiler replacements (with carbon monoxide detector provision), loft and cavity wall insulation, provision of energy meters, referrals to damp and mould removal services and the Warwickshire County Council emergency heater and warm pack service etc.
