Available levels of indemnity

We believe that teachers and students alike should be adequately protected so
we provide all of our policy holders with an indemnity of £5,000,000 which is the
amount required by most Councils, the NHS and other similar authorities and
institutions. A higher limit of £10,000,000 is available at an additional cost upon
request.

Special features

The Foyht policy wording is exceptionally wide and will be adequate for most
individuals and micro enterprises. If your business has developed beyond “you” it
may be beneficial to consider your requirements on a Business Combined basis
to include other Commercial Insurance Risks.

Offering more when more is needed

It is undeniable that life for us all has changed since March 2020. Someone has
pressed a great big ‘reset’ button on the way we work, rest and play. Life has
changed and we must change – if we can. Well, of course we can! We can breathe
deeper and think clearer. What was rushed and important is no longer so. That is
not necessarily a bad thing.

There are new problems, new issues, new challenges. Our ambition is to help you
meet and overcome all of those things without having to spend huge amounts
of time and energy on fretting about them.

The world, which was moving rapidly in a digital direction, has just taken an
electronic leap into the unknown: through necessity. Grasp and use the
technology – or sit back and watch.
The world of Webs and Dark Webs, of phishing and whaling, of GDPR regulations
and fines are a serious concern. To assist we have designed a package of benefits
that will help – often without additional cost.

Benefit 1
Data Breach Monitoring
As a small business, you will have a small database. (As a larger business you will
have a larger data-base – but it will be equally vulnerable)
We provide a data breach monitoring service. If anyone gains unauthorised
access to your database we will alert you immediately: enabling you to take any
remedial action appropriate to the circumstance.
This is an included/free service

Benefit 2
Registered Post and Online Signatures
Sometimes you need to send a registered letter. This facility enables you to send
a registered e-mail providing full traceability and evidence that the email has
been received/opened/read.
This is an included/free service
If you want, all e-mails can be sent registered – but then a small charge will apply.

Benefit 3
If you would like engage in a really useful and educational on-line course on
how to avoid being caught out by any number of scams we will provide a weekly
programme of easy to follow educational and interactive on-line sessions to
help develop your awareness of the schemes and scams that currently manifest
the digital highways . (The cost of this is just £30.00 per annum)

We believe that with membership benefits and the associated insurance we
are providing a comprehensive package at an affordable cost. But we would
welcome your comments as we are always striving to be the best we can be.
