How we help

The best way to share how we can help you is to let our members do the talking!

CST member Elevate MAT recently undertook a rigorous procurement process for their staff absence protection provider, with priorities based on pricing, flexibility, COVID19 cover, ease of administration at Academy and Trust level and regularity of settlements. As a result, "Education Mutual was chosen as the preferred supplier as we met all our requirements in addition to saving the Trust 20% in annual premiums against the previous provider”.
