Insurance
Think a PTA is insured by the school or local authority? Think again — as separate entities to the school, PTAs aren’t covered by the vast majority of school policies, and the few policies which do extend to PTAs only provide very limited cover.
With a PTA membership by Parentkind, you’re provided with a comprehensive insurance policy that covers public liability including events, trustee indemnity, theft, employer’s liability, and more. This policy is managed by Marsh Commercial*, a UK insurance broker and part of Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor.
Partner services, offers and discounts
We know how important it is to make the most profit from each event. We only partner with organisations and negotiate offers with suppliers that we believe will add true value to your association. Find out more by visiting our supplier directory.
