About Education Mutual
Since 2018, Education Mutual has been transforming how staff absence protection is managed, providing a non-profit making approach that prioritises schools, their budgets, and their people. As the UK’s largest member-owned provider of staff absence protection, recommended by the Department for Education through the CPC framework, we provide an ethical alternative to traditional insurance.
Our multi-award-winning service ensures budget certainty whilst providing access to a wide range of health and wellbeing services which are all included at no additional cost all designed to reduce and prevent absences. This includes face-to-face counselling, physiotherapy, 24/7 GP access, flu vaccinations, and occupational health support. Pupil wellbeing support is also part of the package, allowing you to take a comprehensive, whole-school approach to health and wellbeing.
​
Our memberships are tailored to meet the unique needs of each school or trust, combining the extensive coverage of the commercial insurance market with a community-driven ethos akin to that of a local authority. Every membership contribution actively supports member schools, with all surpluses reinvested directly back to the education sector where it’s needed most.

Why we are supporting nEdEx?
Education Mutual is proud to support nEdEx, to provide the sector with an ethical alternative to traditional staff absence insurance. With staff absenteeism on the rise, we recognise the urgent need for solutions that protect budgets, prioritise wellbeing, and empower leaders to take a whole trust approach.
​
This partnership ensures schools and trusts have access to the tools and support they need to thrive, today and in the future as our protection extends to support school staff, support teams, pupils, SBMs/SBLs, Trust Leaders, COOs, and CFOs. By addressing absenteeism and wellbeing at every level, we help our members to build stronger communities where budget certainty and staff welfare go hand in hand.
