Organisations can choose to use the criteria as a self-assessment tool or can go on to external accreditation and gain the Quality Mark at one of three levels, all of which are recognised and approved by the Charity Commission. This half day course provides an excellent introduction to this quality standard, which is now used by some statutory authorities as a pre-requisite for funding.

What is insurance? Insurance is a contract between an individual or entity (the insured) and an insurance company (the insurer), whereby the insurer agrees to provide financial protection or reimbursement against specified losses in exchange for payment of premiums. It helps individuals and businesses mitigate financial risks by transferring them to the insurance company. 2. Why is insurance important? Insurance is crucial for protecting individuals, businesses, and assets against unexpected events and losses. It provides financial security and peace of mind, ensuring that individuals and businesses can recover from accidents, natural disasters, liability claims, and other unforeseen circumstances without facing severe financial hardship. 3. What types of insurance are there? There are various types of insurance tailored to different needs and risks. Common types of insurance include: Health insurance Life insurance Property insurance (e.g., homeowners insurance, renters insurance) Auto insurance Liability insurance Business insurance (e.g., commercial property insurance, professional liability insurance) Travel insurance 4. How does insurance work? Insurance works on the principle of risk pooling and sharing. Policyholders pay premiums to the insurance company, which pools these funds to cover potential losses. When a covered event occurs, policyholders can file a claim with the insurance company, and if the claim is approved, the insurer provides financial compensation or coverage as per the terms of the policy. 5. What is the role of an insurance agent? Insurance agents act as intermediaries between insurance companies and customers. They help individuals and businesses assess their insurance needs, recommend suitable policies, explain coverage options and terms, and assist with the purchasing process. They also provide ongoing customer support, handle policy renewals, and facilitate claims processing. 6. How do I choose the right insurance policy? Choosing the right insurance policy depends on various factors, including your individual or business needs, budget, risk tolerance, and preferences. It's essential to evaluate different policy options, compare coverage features and premiums, and consider factors such as deductibles, limits, exclusions, and the financial strength and reputation of the insurance company. Working with a knowledgeable insurance agent or broker can also help you make informed decisions. 7. Is insurance regulated? Yes, insurance is regulated by government authorities to ensure consumer protection, solvency of insurers, and fair practices within the industry. Regulations may vary by country or jurisdiction and typically involve licensing requirements for insurers and agents, financial reporting standards, consumer protection laws, and oversight by regulatory agencies or departments. Compliance with regulations helps maintain the stability and integrity of the insurance industry.   Remember, while this FAQ section provides general information, specific details may vary based on your location, insurance type, and individual circumstances.
