Protection for education providers

Education providers operate in complex environments that come with distinct risks. These risks can include:
Professional liability
Mismanagement of academic programs, disputes over qualifications, or claims of wrongful acts can expose institutions to legal action.
Cyber threats
The reliance on digital platforms makes colleges and universities prime targets for cyberattacks and data breaches.
Workplace health and safety

Ensuring a safe environment for staff and students is a constant priority, with risks ranging from slips and falls to laboratory accidents.

Property and asset protection
With large campuses, valuable equipment, and specialised facilities, property damage from fire, flood, or vandalism can result in significant financial loss.
Student wellbeing
Covering risks related to student welfare, including incidents during excursions, internships, and on-campus housing.
Public liability
With high foot traffic and public events, the risk of accidents leading to legal claims is ever-present.

Important considerations for childcare businesses

Running a childcare business involves ensuring the safety and well-being of the children under your care. One critical aspect of this responsibility is having adequate childcare insurance coverage, specifically for legal liabilities arising from molestation and abuse. Understanding the nuances of this liability cover can protect your business from severe financial impacts.

Why use an insurance broker?

Insurance can be a complex process, navigating through the various products, covers available, exclusions and confusing terminology. Having an experienced insurance broker on your side means you have a qualified professional who acts on your behalf, not for the insurer, ensuring your specific needs are assessed and you get the insurance program that works for you.
