Bursar’s Review ISBA Annual Conference 2019

Stand 87 Welcome to Hettle Andrews HEADLINE PARTNER 44 An independent insurance broker and risk management firm based in central England, Hettle Andrews offers insurance and risk management services to independent school clients throughout England and Wales. Their association with the independent school sector goes back over a decade and they have worked with ISBA since 2014, exhibiting at the annual conference, speaking at ISBA training days and, for the past two years, supporting as a headline partner. Hettle Andrews is a keen supporter of the work of ISBA and they take every opportunity to provide guidance, educational support and advice to its member bursars. The ISBA conference has provided the company with a tremendous opportunity to showcase their fully integrated risk solution – ONE . Supported by their partner insurers, they have been able to develop a successful offering to schools across the length and breadth of the country, enabling them to benefit from a solution to managing risk, which is both technical in application and cost effective. Hettle Andrews’ ONE simplifies how independent school clients can access a complete range of risk management and insurance broking services. Their research, over the decade that they have worked with the independent school sector, has identified that bursars have traditionally sourced risk management services from a number of different suppliers and advisers. It became clear that this places an unnecessary burden on a bursar’s time and it can be an expensive route to managing your risks. ONE is definitely not just about insurance protection, ONE is a total integrated solution providing: ■ H&S management; ■ human resources support; ■ legal and regulatory expertise; ■ live chat facility; ■ insurance protection; ■ safeguarding advice; ■ business continuity planning; ■ claims defensibility studies; ■ ISI compliant audits; ■ property loss control; and ■ risk bursary from your insurer. www.theisba.org.uk Hettle Andrews is honoured to have been selected as a headline partner at ISBA’s annual conference for the second year in succession. Importantly, there is a significant cost benefit to the Hettle Andrews approach because they have negotiated contributions from insurers who value the integrated approach to insurance and risk management delivered by Hettle Andrews. They are recognised specialists in the independent school sector and these contributions enable them to deliver the ONE solution at highly competitive terms. For the 2019 conference they are focusing on The Changing Face of Risk . While the traditional risks faced by independent schools such as fire, weather-related losses, injuries to staff and pupils are still present, there are new risk exposures that have emerged in recent years: Employment law Government changed the rule in relation to access to tribunals in July 2017 so that claimants no longer have to pay to pursue an action through an industrial tribunal. The consequence of this decision is that there has been a significant rise in actions being brought against employers. Independent schools are not immune from this increased exposure to claims. Cyber Cyber-related acts are probably the most high-profile of all emerging risks. Whether it is intended to influence elections, theft of data, extortion, misappropriation of funds or ICO fines, cases are well reported in the media. There has been a dramatic increase in incidents within the independent school sector including cyber bullying and threats against teachers using social media platforms.
