Does your client need:

• protection against an allegation and/or claim of sexual abuse?
• a $5,000,000 sexual abuse limit to comply with the Victorian Department of Education Betrayal of Trust guidelines?
• top up with an excess layer above the limit the current insurer will offer?

If you answered Yes to any of the above, we can help.

At Amazon Underwriting, we are expanding our product range to now include Stand Alone Sexual Abuse cover, under our latest binder partnership with Beazley.

As part of our commitment to offering comprehensive protection for clients this new addition underscores our dedication to addressing the risks and providing tailored solutions to prevent and respond to sexual abuse claims. Our wording and limits have been approved by the Victorian Government as meeting the Betrayal of Trust guidelines, so your clients can rest assured knowing they are doing the right thing, enabling them to win and/or retain their contracts with the Victorian government.

This product combines advanced risk management and proven crisis response services with effective insurance. It is designed to help clients minimise the risk of sexual abuse within their obligation, and to respond effectively and sensitively if an event occurs.

Crisis Management

Policyholders will have access to comprehensive abuse prevention and crisis response services.

Coverage includes a $50,000 sublimit for Safeguard response services with nil retention.

Beazley has partnerships with several firms including HWL Ebsworth, and Hall and Wilcox, to address the many challenges that organizations might face in the event of a crisis situation. Our expert panel offers the following services, which can be tailored to the demands of any situation:

• Crisis management and communication services

The nature and speed of the response is everything. If handled well, the response can limit the distress caused, as well as the risk of serious reputational and financial damage.
