St<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>Insurance</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Risk</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Support Package<br />
Due to current self-funding insurance arrangements, <strong>Somerset</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Council</strong> (SCC) is<br />
not able to continue to provide insurance cover to Academy Status schools in the same<br />
way they do for maintained schools.<br />
An Academy status school is responsible for ensuring adequate insurance is in place, <strong>and</strong><br />
this will need to be procured from the external insurers.<br />
Although the Local Authority is unable to continue to insure Academy schools, these<br />
schools are able to buy into services offered by the SCC <strong>Insurance</strong> Department.<br />
An Annual Service Package with SCC <strong>Insurance</strong> Section is available which will provide:<br />
- insurance support services, including guidance regarding insurance implications<br />
for events <strong>and</strong> activities, property issues, assistance <strong>and</strong> advice on potential<br />
claims <strong>and</strong> associated correspondence
- guidance <strong>and</strong> support on the day to day management of risks facing schools<br />
We can also offer the above Support Package if you buy your own insurances through a<br />
broker or consortium. They will provide a level of support <strong>and</strong> assistance but we can<br />
offer additional support along with expertise <strong>and</strong> specialist knowledge of local authority<br />
matters.<br />
Insurers Support Service<br />
In addition to the St<strong>and</strong>ard Support Package, we can arrange an insurance quotation,<br />
though the Local Authority scheme, from Zurich Municipal.<br />
If this insurance is taken up by the Academy, a Insurers Support Service charge will<br />
apply <strong>and</strong> the following additional services will be available:<br />
- Facilitate purchase of <strong>Insurance</strong> package through Zurich Municipal, including the<br />
acceptance of cover <strong>and</strong> management of policy documentation.<br />
- Ongoing support <strong>and</strong> guidance relating to their insurance product.<br />
- Information on existing cover.<br />
- Point of contact with Zurich Municipal for mid term adjustments <strong>and</strong> the<br />
implications for changes to the policy.<br />
Fee Structure<br />
<strong>Insurance</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Risk</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Support Package = £270.00 pa<br />
plus<br />
Insurers Support Service = £2% of the net cost of the insurance package.<br />
