Good Practice Guide

Insurance Brokers’ Good Practice Guide

At its launch BIBA’s Insurance Brokers’ Standards Committee (IBSC) agreed that it would be of benefit to members to create a living, breathing good practice guide containing the particular areas of broking where we have an agreed benchmark of good practice and set a standard.

On 5 March 2020, I chaired the IBSC for the first time  from a TV screen.  Who could have foseen what would  happen over the next two years as  we discussed how to keep our Good Practice Guide relevant.

It’s more important than ever to have a process when operating in a crisis or changing situation. Across 11 chapters ranging from clients to claims and insurers to employees there is useful non-prescriptive guidance to provide a degree of calm logic amongst the chaos.

This online publication contains voluntary good practice guidance and information for brokers – there is no suggestion that any members must work this way.

We welcome any feedback, questions or additions so please email us via [email protected]
