The IFoA’s Mental Health Working Party is heading into its next phase of work and is seeking additional members of the travel insurance work stream.
Our work so far has considered the impact that mental health considerations have on each stage of the life insurance product lifecycle. We have produced a range of blogs, podcasts, webinars and papers in this area to raise awareness and inspire action. We have also looked in detail at digital tools that are used in insurance to support the mental health of customers, and we have a workstream underway looking at supporting the mental health of actuaries.
Most recently, we have conducted an underwriting survey for mental health underwriting among UK insurers. As a next step from this survey, we are seeking to understand in more detail the underwriting and pricing considerations for travel insurance when it comes to mental health.
If you have experience in general insurance products, pricing or underwriting and are passionate about contributing to this focus area, we invite you to apply for the working party.
Our working party actively welcomes volunteers from a broad range of backgrounds and countries. Our current members include expertise spanning actuarial, pricing, underwriting, advisor, product development and policy. We are seeking actuaries and non-actuaries to join the working party.
Expected time commitment is about 4 to 6 hours per month.
