A 360° View of Independent School Risk (Protecting your school)

We’re wrapping up our spring webinar series with a 360° view of independent school risks, presented by guest expert Martin Kelly, President of ISM Insurance Inc.

Independent schools are subject to contractual law and, as such, have liability exposure in a number of areas, including employment practices and lawsuits brought by parents because of a failure to provide a safe environment.

In this webinar, Martin examines these and other areas of risk, such as crisis planning, HR practices, facilities, trips, use of volunteers, bullying and misconduct, acceptable use polices, and more.
By watching the on-demand webinar, you will also receive a risk management questionnaire in order to perform a self-assessment and benchmark your risk in these areas as you build or review your risk management plan. Watch the on-demand webinar now!
