The Value of Protection Insurance

When serious illness or injury strikes your family, money becomes the last thing you should worry about. Protection insurance keeps your mortgage paid, your income flowing, and your family's future secure when they need stability most.

The cost of insurance, particularly life insurance has fallen over recent years, whilst the quality of cover has in many cases increased.

Far from being a luxury, Protection Insurance should be considered essential, especially if you have a family or people that rely on your income.

Protection insurance guide

When your family needs you most Most people think serious illness happens to other families. The reality is that 1 in 2 people face cancer during their lifetime, and losing your income can threaten everything you’ve built together. We help families understand their protection options and find cover that actually works when it matters.

What protection insurance can do for your family:

  • Keep your home by paying off your mortgage if something happens to you
  • Replace your income so your family can maintain their lifestyle
  • Cover childcare costs if you can’t work or aren’t there to help
  • Pay for private treatment and specialist care when you need it most
  • Protect your children’s education and future opportunities
  • Give you time to focus on recovery instead of worrying about money

Protects your family’s future if you die, providing a tax-free lump sum to cover the mortgage, replace your income, and maintain their standard of living during an incredibly difficult time.

Pays a lump sum if you're diagnosed with specified conditions like cancer, heart attack, or stroke. Gives you financial breathing space to focus on treatment and recovery.

Replaces up to 70% of your income if illness or injury stops you working. Continues paying until you recover, return to work, reach retirement, or the policy term ends.

More affordable option providing cover for 1–2 years. Ideal if you have good employer benefits or want basic protection on a budget.
