Education providers require specialist insurance programmes that are complemented by robust risk management advice.

Our expert team have worked with schools, colleges, and universities for many years. Although we are well versed in the risks these institutions face, we still take an individual approach to each organisation that we work with. This is because each institution will have their own requirements, the way they operate will differ and the nature of their roles may be different to other education providers.

It is crucial to work with an insurance broker who specialises in the education sector, so you are not left exposed if the need to make a claim arises.

Our insurance solutions protect your staff, pupils, buildings, and contents. We also look at increasing modern risks, such as cyber breaches and crime. These types of cover are vital for education providers due to the large amounts of personal data you store.

In addition to arranging insurance, we provide ongoing risk management advice to help you manage and reduce the risks your institution retains. By reducing these risks, you are inevitably reducing your chance of having to make a claim.
