Keepsafe provides schools with cost-effective and extensive insurance coverage.
Since 1989 the Ministry of Education has provided protection for school contents/Board of Trustees property. The Ministry, with assistance from its appointed insurance broker, Marsh have developed an enhanced programme that offers real value.
What can Keepsafe do for your school?
- Provide contents cover (all Board of Trustees property for their replacement value, including items such as laptops and sporting equipment.)
- Make it easy to obtain cover — just complete the form.
- No premium to pay from your school budget. The Ministry of Education fully fund the programme through quarterly deductions from the Schools’ Operations Grant.
- Provide a broad liability insurance programme (Public, Trustees, Statutory, Employment Disputes, Professionals, Employers, Fidelity, Legal Expenses.
This programme automatically includes cover for school events such as camps, walks, etc, and most school fundraising activities.)
- Provide cyber insurance cover to protect schools from the major risks your computer systems and records face in the cyber age.
How do I sign up or renew my existing cover in the Risk Management programme?
To join the scheme simply complete and fax the application form back to the Ministry of Education, and your school is automatically covered. Once your school is in the scheme it remains in the scheme until you choose to withdraw. No annual renewal is required.
The Ministry of Education’s fax number is:
04 463 8376
Keepsafe is the simple way to arrange your school’s insurance cover.
