Insurance literacy is an important part of financial capability. If you understand insurance, you're able to make more informed choices about your finances and risk management practices.

The younger we learn these skills, the more impact they have on our lives. That's why a key part of our work is helping children and young people develop their financial capabilities.

We work with Banqer and the Young Enterprise Trust to

• promote financial literacy education
• provide insurance education materials for schools
• get people thinking about insurance and managing risk early in their lives.
