Be there when they need you most
From the first time we set eyes on our children, to the moment they leave home and beyond, we never stop caring for them.
That’s why we designed ChildShield to protect children from birth, right up to the age of 22, starting from as little as £6 per month.

Plan for the unexpected
None of us like to think about our children being ill, needing emotional support or having accidents at any age. But it’s important we plan for those unexpected moments.
