Featured service

Care practitioner consultancy

Bespoke care practitioner consultancy is available to policyholders, either on-site or desktop, on a range of regulatory, risk and commercial matters.

We have 30 specialist care practitioners from across all client groups who not only understand the key issues being faced across the sector, but can also provide bespoke sector-specific support to those caring for children and vulnerable adults.
