Protecting and Defending Child Welfare Organizations
Markel is the only insurance company with child welfare specialist, Rhonda Sciortino
A special message from Rhonda Sciortino
My passion for protecting the people and organizations that care for children has allowed me to serve as Markel’s child welfare specialist since 2008. Selling my company, Child Welfare Insurance Services, to Markel meant that I could focus on the importance of protecting child welfare providers while having the full support of an insurance company that has been committed to insuring child-related organizations for over 60 years.
Markel not only understands how children get injured, but more importantly, how to help prevent tragedy in child-caring organizations. When tragedy strikes, despite having done all they could to protect the children in their care, providers can be assured that Markel has the experience to handle emotionally-charged, child-related claims--while helping clients navigate through the special challenges presented when children are involved.
Why rely on Markel for your child welfare insurance needs?
- A financially stable, publicly-traded company around for the long term--an important consideration when a claim involving a child may not be brought for many years after the occurrence
- Committed to understanding the issues to properly protect child welfare organizations
- Extensive risk management tools designed to help prevent tragedies in child-caring organizations
- Expertise to recommend the right coverage
I’m excited about the collaborations we’ve forged with child advocacy organizations and the new tools and resources Markel and I are working on together that will draw on the expertise of child welfare thought leaders across the country. There is much more to do, and I’m delighted that Markel is at the forefront of the efforts to improve child welfare and strengthen the protection of our nation’s child welfare providers. Together we can make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged children.
