Professional Indemnity
Covering liability is probably a cover that you sell on every policy, particularly Public & Employer’s Liability. But, what about those businesses who are liable who provide professional advice?

In this course, we will look at the core fundamentals of Professional indemnity, including the mechanics, legal remedies and underwriting factors. The course will end with some key consideration to look out for in a Professional Indemnity (PI) policy wording.

Understanding clients’ accounts has never been more important for brokers and underwriters alike, with tremendous scrutiny now being put on clients' accounts, so account executives, account handlers and underwriters will need to understand the main terminology.

Womens Mental Health
This powerful session looks at mental health through a female lens - focussing on prevention, early intervention and health promotion. Social and economic factors can put women at greater risk of poor mental health than men. Around one in five women have a common mental health disorder, such as depression and anxiety. While there can be many reasons why these develop, some specific risk factors affect many women, including life events including pregnancy and menopause. When women find it hard to talk about difficult feelings, they tend to internalise them. This can lead to certain common mental health disorders. In this session, we will explore some of the specific risk factors and protective factors that can influence women’s mental health. Attendees will leave with some practical tools that will help support them to improve their mental health and wellbeing. This session is aimed at women - and at anyone who has women and girls that they care about, and live or work with.

How EL/PL and Products claims can arise
All broking staff should have a clear understanding of how liability can arise if they are to correctly advise their clients. Liability can arise in three main ways, tort, statute and contract.
