LEA Schemes
Schoolsafe can tailor any policy to meet the
precise needs of an LEA. That’s because we understand
that any LEA scheme needs to be flexible and responsive
as well
as transparent in terms of cost, policy type, and the
types of cover provided.
Our experience also enables us
to prepare and submit tenders for LEA schemes within
stringent time limits. Then, once
Schoolsafe is appointed, we have the resources to ensure
that the scheme is brought in to existence in an efficient
and structured way. Please take a look below at what
School safe can offer you and should you require further
information
then please submit your details here:

Flexible Schemes
There are a number of ways Schoolsafe can work in partnership
with LEAs:
• ‘Stop loss’ insurance’ – some LEAs
have their own mutual insurance scheme but would like commercial
insurance in order to protect the scheme against the cost
of claims running above a certain threshold e.g. the cost
of claims running above 115% of the total contribution
paid in by each school.
Alternatively LEAs may wish to cover any individual absence
exceeding a certain number of days e.g. any absence
exceeding 15 days.
• Act
as the recommended LEA supplier – LEAs may wish
to act as a conduit to the individual schools (with the
LEA acting as the bulk purchasing scheme) thereby giving
flexible
policy options on excess periods, daily benefits, choice
of which staff to be covered etc, and with the advantage
of preferential rates relative to the numbers of schools
opting into the scheme.
• ‘Mutual’ (pooled) Scheme – some LEA’s
may wish to continue with the same pooled scheme as used
previously. We can look at taking over this scheme on the
same basis providing run-in cover together with various
other policy options.
• Help
with the Management of an LEA’s own scheme – We
can provide information for absence analysis, and proactively
help with absentee management.

LEA Schemes - Risk Management
Schoolsafe can help LEA’s look at their Risk Management Programme
1.) Risk Management for the LEA: Monthly
scheme monitoring reports are provided, with annual or
monthly absence analysis, comparison reports, broken down
by area, school type (primary, junior, secondary, or special
school).
2.) Risk Management for the Individual
School: As above but for the school
itself, with analysis of absences on monthly
or annual basis, broken down by illness/absence
type enabling the individual school to tackle
staff absence with a proactive absentee
management programme.
Staff Absence Management
Programmes
Proactive Absentee Management Solutions:
Schoolsafe are able to offer not only an
accident and illness policy but the ability
to add on medical insurance, medical rehabilitation,
and free health

Training), with a dedicated claims help line.
Schoolsafe offers a range of solutions to help
with the prevention of absence in addition to obtaining
the data for your risk management. |
