aba Group Launch New Insurance Services For Educational Institutions Amidst Increasing Demand
With the introduction of private academies and the continued investment in education in the UK, it has become increasingly important for these educational institutions to protect themselves from a variety of increasingly complex and unique problems.

LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND, November 17, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With the introduction of private academies and the continued investment in education in the UK, it has become increasingly important for these educational institutions to protect themselves from a variety of increasingly complex and unique problems.

As a result, these institutions, from public schools to private schools and academies, are finding that tailored cover is by far the safest option to ensure that they are sufficiently covered for every eventuality.

One of aba Group's Directors, Lynne Eckersley, stated that:

"Managing the risks posed to a school is difficult and it can sometimes be difficult for those managing the school to consider and account for them all. It's important therefore that these people seek out specialist insurers who can advise them on their risk management practices and to ensure that sufficient cover is in place to protect them"

Not only must the school buildings and assets be protected, but those managing the school must also safeguard themselves with employee and public liability policies, as well as having to account for professional indemnity. As if this was not enough, in some cases these institutions are also vulnerable to the actions of their own officers, governors and trustees and so their actions must also be considered.

In addition to the above cover, the school must also protect its children. Where incidents occur however, the school must then be covered for legal expenses and more. These institutions therefore face a complex and unique mix of problems that must be assessed and cater for by experienced insurers.

"As with many businesses, it takes just one freak event or accident to cause problems. Where these incidents lead to legal action or to an interruption of cash-flow, the school is placed in a particularly risky situation. It's therefore up to us, as specialist insurers, to ensure that despite such events these schools are covered sufficiently so that they may resume the education of their pupils as quickly as possible" adds Ms Eckersley.

In addition to the above cover, bespoke policies for independent and public schools, as well as academies, can cover motor vehicles, staff absence, accidents and travel as well. as offering fund protection

"For those looking to set up academies, or those who are already running schools but would like to see if they can better their cover, we welcome anyone that would like some advice on the subject. We have over 70 years of experience in the industry and we are more than happy to share that to help local institutions find their feet" states Ms Eckersley.
