About Teachers Assurance & LV=

about teachers assurance

Teachers Assurance was the trading name of Teachers Provident Society Limited

  • It was founded in 1877 by the organisation that became the National Union of Teachers (NUT) as a mutual friendly society. It provided sick pay, annuities and endowments before teachers received help from the Government towards finances or pensions.
  • It aimed to provide simple and affordable savings and protection schemes to help ensure teachers had more financial security and lived better lives, both while working and in retirement. It maintained strong relations with the NUT throughout its existence. The in-force business of Teachers Assurance was transferred to LV= on 1st June 2016.

Transfer to LV=

Following the vote in favour of transfer to LV= by Teachers Assurance members at the Special General Meeting in December 2015 and the agreement of the regulators, Teachers Assurance business was transferred to LV= 1 June 2016. The administration of Teachers policies is carried out in Bournemouth.

For more information on the transfer to LV=, the policies sold by Teachers Assurance and how to contact us, see the Instrument of Transfer document (PDF, 327KB).
