Schools Absence Insurance Service

The Service Offer

Subscription Services

We create flexibility within your academy's budget to help you manage costly staff cover when employees are unexpectedly absent through illness or maternity leave.  Our service saves you time and money meaning you can confidently plan your staffing budgets each year with the financial security we provide.

Benefits

  • We are a locally managed non-profit making scheme which pools annual subscription funds to cover reimbursements.  As an in-house scheme decisions can be made quickly so you won’t experience any delay in receiving your payments.
  • We provide monthly reimbursements even when claims are ongoing so that you don’t have to wait until the end of a claim period – this ensures you have the funding available to cover the costs incurred in filling vacancies, when you need it.
  • Where you make a claim, you will save money by not having to fund all of your additional staff cover costs (if any) through your existing budget provision.
  • Our simple range of cover options have been tailored to your needs based on 15 years evidence of claims from over 200 schools - this means we avoid having lots of confusing choices and focus instead on just the most cost effective scenarios.

Why Buy Our Service

Staff absence can place a high burden on school budgets.  Unplanned absences still need to be managed and in today’s difficult financial environment working to mitigate their impact is essential. We offer solutions for schools looking to effectively manage the cost of staff absences.  This wider range of options gives you flexibility to choose the exact level of cover to suit your academy's needs and offers protection of your school budget through an insurance scheme which reimburses schools when absences occur.

Our cover is more comprehensive than many providers for example we automatically cover all jury service whereas many providers charge additional fees for this type of cover.  We require little paperwork – other than your weekly online claim form, there is no requirement to provide evidence of supply cover or doctor’s notes for all normal absences.
