How an Education Mutual membership works
Your contribution
All member schools pay a contribution to the mutual. These funds are pooled into a shared pot, safely protected via stop loss
Claims payments
The collective pot of money is used to pay 100% of all valid claims, including discretionary claims too. Members can count on comprehensive support when they need it most.
Health and Wellbeing
Your staff benefit from access to our comprehensive health, mental health, occupational health, and pupil wellbeing services, all included in the membership at no additional cost.
Have your say
Throughout the academic year, we engage with members for their input on important topics. Additionally, all members are invited to our Annual General Meeting every September, ensuring their voices are heard.
Surplus funds
Any surplus funds remaining at the end of the year are reinvested directly back into the education sector – it’s all up to our members!
