Why Children’s Protection Insurance Is the Unsung Hero of 2026

Children’s protection insurance is one of the fastest-growing—but least understood—areas of protection in the UK. In this episode of the Property Pod, we explore what children’s protection insurance really is, why so many families still don’t know it exists, and why it’s becoming the unsung hero of 2025/26. From rising mental health claims to the real cost of stepping away from work, we explain why this cover matters more than ever.
