Everything we have covered in our forums so far this year

Our regular Protection Forum is an opportunity for advisers and insurers to come together and discuss topics and issues that are important to them and the industry. Attended by a large number of advisers, as well as insurers and other industry professionals, our aim is that through the forum we can collectively drive improvements to products, processes, standards and ultimately, consumer outcomes. We take the opportunity today to look back at our January and February meetings and recap the important and varied topics discussed.
