Practical Protection Podcast: Mental health during lockdown

I’m pleased to welcome back Matt Rann, not just as a special guest but as a new co-host to the podcast and we are focusing on mental health. With everything that we have all experienced over the last year due to the global pandemic, restrictions to our everyday lives and activities, lockdowns and school closures, mental health is something that is affecting many people, including both children and adults.

We discuss how mental health is underwritten for things like life insurance, how the insurance sector is currently responding to mental health and our thoughts on how insurance offerings could be improved.
