Webinar: Human v Automated Decision-Making: have we gone too far in insurance and financia
We have reached a critical crossroads in the digitisation and automation of processes within insurance and financial services. Some say that we have already gone too far and the human element is being continuously eroded, whereas others believe we have not gone far enough and that insurance and financial services continues to lag behind other professions. There is a fine balance to be struck. This thought-provoking webinar will examine both sides of the debate and suggest a way forward to ensure the best possible outcome for the profession and for our clients.

Cyber Webinar
We've listened to your feedback that Cyber Insurance is still a 'dark art' and a CPD session helping you to understand the cover and explain this to your clients would be welcomed.
This session, by Neil Park (Study Leader of the Insurance Institute of London Cyber risks study group), will provide 4 Cyber Loss Scenarios You Should Use to Test and Demonstrate the Coverage Provided Under Your Customers’ Cyber Insurance Policies
Cyber insurance policies are newer, less tested and arguably trickier to understand than property damage/business interruption policies so brokers and insurers must be able to clearly explain to customers the coverage and any limitations to the coverage to prevent similar policy disputes
Fri 24 Jun 9:30 am – 9:35 am

Dealing Correctly with Vulnerable Customers
The Presentation will include how the FCA define vulnerable customers, the measures all firms are expected to put in place and how the requirements on all firms are changing. This remains a hot topic and failure to comply can leave firms open to disciplinary measures from the regulator.
