Never has the obligation to demonstrate that you are following good practice been more vital to those responsible for Care organisations.
Innovation Broking have been working closely with the Care Practice Consultancy of the insurer, Markel, and can now bring that service to you, whether or not you insure with Markel, and at significant discounts.
If you have attended our conferences (online or otherwise) you will have already met the Markel expert care practice team headed by our good friend Charlotte Rowe who now disseminates her and her 25 strong consultancy team’s expertise built within practicing, council and regulatory environments, for the benefit of the Care sector as a whole.
The main service in their armoury which you will really want to access is their Specialist Care Practitioner Consultancy – this is delivered by 25 specialist care practitioners from the Markel Care Practitioners team, who understand the key issues being faced across the sector, and provide bespoke sector-specific support. This is either on-site or desktop, on a range of regulatory, risk and commercial matters. We love this Care industry friendly service and have used it with clients on a variety of projects, from post regulatory improvement requirements, planning new services, to re-opening schools post Covid closure
These services are available, mainly at no cost, to clients who insure with Markel and are now available via Innovation Broking on a “pay as you go” basis. We know that it’s not always right for every client to insure with Markel – so we are delighted to be able to offer you these class leading services on a stand-alone basis, as few other insurers invest in this sort of support for their clients
Consultancy projects frequently focus on:
- Regulatory compliance, including CQC health checks, preparing for inspections, Reg. 17 audits, GDPR and challenging inspection judgments
- Risk management, including health and safety, reducing claims, business continuity and emergency planning
- Training, including accident and investigation, health and safety, fire risks, lifting and handling, and first-level management
- Business growth and tendering services
We are also able to obtain access for you to:
Legal advice line –access to 40 specialist solicitors who can assist care organisations with legal issues they face on a regular basis. The helpline advises on over 200,000 queries a year, on issues such as CQC penalty notices/enforcement, factual accuracy challenge, safeguarding advice and employment disciplinary. This is a simply brilliant service and many of our clients use it just as a sounding board –while others have more serious issues. In 2021 with Brexit changing employability of many Care sector staff this will be a hot topic.
Law Hub – which can help guide with access to practical DIY templates and guidance. Law Hub is written and created by Markel’s team of expert solicitors who have a wealth of experience advising on legal issues within the care sector. Most lawyers and HR departments in large organisations use this type of service and charge you for passing on the templates
