Our E-Learning solution offers a wide variety of Health & Safety training courses created by our highly qualified Health and Safety experts
As a cost effective solution to Health & Safety training our online e-Learning is especially suited to businesses on a tight budget or struggle to get employees together for classroom-based training. The courses offered in this facility were created with the emphasis on giving the learner the practical information they would need in order for them to deal with the Health & Safety issues they may actually encounter when at work.
By placing the emphasis on delivering the training material as concisely as possible, we have been able to cut down on course lengths helping to maintain learners attention, ensuring the knowledge of the lesson is understood and retained.
Just like the training material itself, our Learning Management System (LMS) has been designed and created by our own team of software developers and unlike many Health & Safety E-Learning solutions currently on the market, is not licensed from a Third Party.
Our e-Learning courses are:
Our Health and Safety service provides up-to-date information on the provisions of current Health and Safety Legislation and explains in clear language the obligations of companies and their directors and or principals.
Health and Safety at Work Regulations apply to all businesses, regardless of size. They cover employees, both full or part time, temporary or permanent, the self-employed, young people doing work experience, apprentices, charity workers, mobile workers and homeworkers.
Workplace Health and Safety is an issue which has increasing importance for businesses of all sizes regardless of industry. Planning for effective Health & Safety Management is vital for your business.
Health and Safety Click can provide you with the tools and information that will help keep your business compliant, without the costs of Health and Safety consultants. Our online safety management service, which allows untrained managers of small and medium sized enterprises to understand, audit, improve and document their workplace safety management, with unlimited access by email to our panel of expert safety consultants.
Our Human Resources service was designed by a team of HR Professionals with many years of experience in dealing with HR issues. The policies, procedures and documents have resulted from their experiences and take account of best practice and case law.
Employment legislation is a major headache for many employers. In the current working environment even minor disputes can have potentially litigious and costly consequences. Our service is designed to provide help and information concerning the employment of workers to businesses that do not benefit from their own HR team. Many of the articles result from actual Employment Tribunal cases that the authors have been involved in and our subscribers can benefit from these real-life scenarios.
The majority of employers DO deal with their employees fairly. Nonetheless, tribunals are often unable to determine "fair" treatment due to the lack of an "audit trail" which records the opportunities and warnings an employee has received prior to their dismissal or resignation. Our Human Resource service is designed to help managers deal with employees in a way that is not only fair but seen to be fair.
The information sections, policies and procedures have been written in a practical and straightforward way, explaining how employment legislation translates in practice. A strict interpretation of law may be required when dealing with Employment Tribunal or other claims by employees and users are therefore advised to seek legal opinion before responding to these.
Business Continuity encompases the planning and processes of creating systems of prevention and recovery to deal with potential threats to your business.
You may wonder what Business Continuity is, another piece of red tape perhaps?
In fact it is far from it, it may be the very thing that keeps you in business when an even minor disaster strikes. Business Managers invariably believe that they have everything covered because to date nothing has gone seriously wrong. Most likely nothing will.
But, what if there was a fire, not necessarily a big one, just sufficient to stop your business for a few of days.
Ask yourself these questions:
Would you manage? Would you survive?
Planning can ensure you do and the 'Head of the Business' must be the person insisting that the planning takes place this service will help you to do just that...
Our Driving Risk Management system is designed to assist fleet managers and Companies tackle Occupational Road Risk (ORR). Your drivers may be hundreds of miles away, but "duty of care" remains with you!
Directors and Senior Managers now face fierce fines and even prison if they fail to adequately manage the "duty of care" for their employees that drive. Driving at Work Click has been created specifically to assist companies and organisations in the management of occupational road risk.
Driving-at-work driving is now the single biggest safety issue facing UK industry, with over 1000 deaths and 250,000 serious injuries occurring every year. To help tackle this issue the Government, have now introduced Corporate Manslaughter legislation. With a number of Police initiatives and Government Legislation already in place, ignoring or deferring occupational road risk issues ceased to be a viable option some time ago.

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement For the financial year ending 31 December 2024
The Modern Slavery Act (2015) (the Act) requires commercial organisations with a turnover greater than £36M to publish an annual statement outlining the steps taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in their operations and supply chains. Brown & Brown (Europe) Holdco Limited
As a provider of insurance intermediary and associated services, Brown & Brown (Europe) Holdco Limited (Brown & Brown (Europe)), is registered in England and Wales under company registration number 13956051. Registered office: 7th Floor, Corn Exchange, 55 Mark Lane, London, EC3R 7NE.
Brown & Brown (Europe) is fully supportive of the Act and adopts a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in all forms in our organisation and across our suppliers.
Brown & Brown (Europe) forms part of Brown & Brown, Inc., a leading global insurance intermediary, who provide risk management and insurance solutions to help protect what our customers value most. Operating across four business segments - Retail, National Programs, Wholesale and Services - we serve businesses, government institutions, professional organisations, trade associations, families and individuals. Our operations are underpinned by values of integrity, innovation, expertise and discipline.
Brown & Brown (Europe) is a large insurance intermediary with operations across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and various other jurisdictions. We operate through:
This statement covers our European operations, headquartered in London, employing over 4,000 teammates across subsidiaries in the UK and Europe.
We recognise that modern slavery, which encompasses slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking - all of which involve the exploitation of individuals for personal or commercial gain, is a crime and we are dedicated to identifying and eliminating any such risks wherever they may arise.
We are committed to conducting our business ethically, transparently and in compliance with all laws and regulations, promoting fair treatment and respect for human rights.
Brown & Brown (Europe) performs an important role in the insurance distribution chain dealing with its end customers, insurance intermediaries, underwriting agents, insurers and other insurance market participants. We also deal with providers of other services necessary to run our business effectively such as IT providers.
While we believe our risk exposure to modern slavery and/or human trafficking is low, we remain vigilant, particularly in areas such as facilities and IT services, where third parties may be involved.
We believe that we are at low risk of human trafficking and slavery occurring within our business or supply chain. Our operations are primarily office based requiring skilled teammates, in a heavily regulated sector and mostly in the UK. We do not have a supply chain that is reliant on factories or other entities that would normally be associated with slavery or forced labour. As a general rule, contractors and suppliers used by us are also not considered likely to be susceptible to this risk.
Nonetheless, we recognise that no business is immune, and we take a proactive stance in identifying and mitigating emerging risks in respect of modern slavery.
Teammates responsible for managing suppliers and other firms involved with Brown & Brown (Europe) ensure that our values and ideals are upheld in third parties. We continue to ensure that our contracts include appropriate protections and serious violations of those ethical standards by suppliers would lead to the termination of the business relationship.
Our Code of Conduct, embedded in our teammate handbook and accessible to all teammates, outlines expectations around ethical behaviour, diversity, inclusion and respect in the workplace.
We are committed to equal opportunities, non-discrimination and creating a culture of belonging and psychological safety.
We foster a speak-up culture. Our Whistleblowing Policy, supported by relevant procedures, enables teammates to report unethical behaviour or concerns, including those related to modern slavery, confidentially and without fear of retaliation.
We maintain robust hiring processes to ensure that:
All new teammates complete Modern Slavery Awareness Training as part of their onboarding, and refresher modules are issued periodically. This ensures all teammates:
Our Internal Audit function conducts periodic reviews of business operations and supplier engagement, including:
This ensures that modern slavery risks are regularly monitored and addressed by Brown & Brown (Europe). Corporate Social Responsibility and Wellbeing
We recognise that our business does not exist in isolation nor is it simply a way of making money. We recognise that our teammates depend on our business being successful, that customers, suppliers and the local community are all affected by our business and what we do and the way in which we do it.
We work to understand the impact that Brown & Brown (Europe) has on the wider world and consider at all times, how we can use this impact in a positive way. We adopt a responsible attitude, often going beyond the minimum legal requirements and working to minimise any negative impact our business may have.
We have in place a Teammate Assistance Programme (including access to GP and counselling services). An annual engagement survey drives actionable plans to improve engagement and we actively focus on the wellbeing of our teammates and continually identify areas for improvement. We promote a flexible benefits platform including various benefits and resources to support the mental and physical health of our teammates and their families.
