Specialist risk and insurance solutions for the schools sector

The education landscape has changed dramatically in the last few years. The impact of this is increased pressure on those establishments who are combining managing their funding together with increased independence and the risks which are associated with this. Thats why it makes sense to work with an insurance broking and risk management partner who speaks your language and understands the difference the right insurance can make.
Legislation is driving the growth in Academy Trust and Free Schools who have embraced greater independence. Existing Independent Schools are balancing revenue against increased costs. All of this leads to increased complexity in existing funding, procurement, compliance and collaboration processes. Add to that the pressure from a demand for an optimised and transparent level of value and performance, managing your overheads is more important than ever. With permanent risk and liability exposures that span pupils, teaching and support staff, buildings, assets, security and reputation to name just a few, chances are youre looking for an integrated approach to insurance that simplies complexity, saves you money and maximises the protection offered by your cover.
