A bespoke insurance scheme designed exclusively for English Language Schools & Study Centres.

We’ve teamed up with Markel to design and deliver a unique insurance solution which meets the needs of Language Schools. The package provides a comprehensive suite of covers, alongside additional benefits to policyholders.

Underwriting this scheme in-house, allows us to ensure delivery of a prompt and efficient service and allows you to directly interface with both the underwriters and your dedicated account manager.

Key Benefits:

  • A fully combined wording, inclusive of Professional Indemnity
  • Optional covers including D&O, Cyber and Legal Expenses
  • Abuse cover under the Public Liability Section (Occurrence Basis)
  • Access to Education Consultancy Services through Markel Care Practitioners (MCP)
  • Access to Legal Advice via Markel Law and Markel Business Hub

Professional Indemnity is included and here’s why it’s important:

Professional indemnity insurance covers the potential legal liability of your language school for a breach in professional duty as well as the defence against claims of any wrongdoing. As a school accepting international students, including those of a young age, unique exposures could extend as far as claims for:
  • Failure to educate or adequately follow curriculum.
  • Failure to supervise or evaluate pupils adequately.
  • Failure to vet or monitor host family placements.
  • Breach of confidentiality.
  • Any other civil liability not specifically excluded.
