Since 2006, we have been offering this product on behalf of Beazley in the US, and later in Canada and for the last couple of years we have been able to offer this product in Australia.

With many GL carriers now excluding or sub-limiting this coverage, and the Royal Commission investigations into historic abuse, resulting in the Commonwealth redress scheme, this standalone product is needed more than ever.

Coverage is offered on a primary and excess basis, and we can also offer excess over a GL/package policy that provides a sub-limit. Total immunity from risk is impossible, but effective risk management can mitigate the exposure, while reinforcing commitment to highest standards of safety. By purchasing this product through us/Beazley, it means they get this service included free of charge with Praesidium. The Insured will have access to a dedicated risk management website. Praesidium, who have over two decades of experience, are there to help organisations reduce their risk.
