Spearheaded by the Income Protection Taskforce, The Seven Families Initiative could be the most important campaign in the history of the protection market.

It could raise awareness and increase interest in income protection, long seen in the industry as “the Cinderella product”.

And the stories that will emerge from the initiative could start to heal the industry’s tarnished image with consumers.

Peter talks us through how the Seven Families Initiative came about and its significance for the protection industry.

Hear how you can benefit from the campaign. Listen to what the campaign involves and what activities we’ll see.
