What is child critical illness cover?

Child critical illness pays out a lump sum to help support your family, if any of your current or future children were diagnosed with a serious condition. It is not a standalone product, so you need to add it onto your critical illness cover as the parent or guardian.

Child critical illness cover provides added protection and can help remove some of the financial stress, if you ever need to take time off work to care for your child or help fund any treatment or changes to the home to accommodate their condition.

How does child critical illness work?

Child critical illness can be added to your critical illness cover for additional protection, it can only be added at time of purchase. If your child is diagnosed with a critical illness, we pay a lump sum which gives you the flexibility to spend your payout on whatever you need.

This would have no impact on your life insurance policy and your family will still receive the full cover amount if you were to pass away. The amount of cover is equal to 25% of your critical illness cover up to a maximum of £25,000.

What conditions are covered?

Our child critical illness cover pays out if your child is diagnosed with the most common serious illnesses such as cancer, heart attack and strokes.

It also covers other critical illnesses listed in our Policy Terms and Conditions.

To see a list of conditions covered check our Policy Terms and Conditions.
