Market-leading cover made better
Like our award-winning adult Serious Illness Cover2, we provide the widest level of cover for children. We pay out a cash lump sum if any of your client's children suffer a serious illness.Children can also enjoy the Vitality Programme at no additional cost - based on their plan - from partners like Vue and Odeon, and Garmin.
And now, all children will now be automatically included under a single premium.
Casper's claims story
We all know life’s not predictable. That’s why it’s important to protect what’s most important to you – your family.
When Emma had Casper, it prompted her to take a look at her life insurance plan. After choosing Vitality, her financial adviser suggested that she took out Child Serious Illness Cover. Among its many benefits, like severity-based payments for when children fall ill, it also gave Emma extra cover towards any medical care bills or taking time off work to be with Casper.
