Making sure your family is looked after if the unexpected happens

Protection policies are designed to protect you and your family if the unexpected happens. They are put in place to make sure your loved ones could get by without your income if the worst were to happen. Financial strain can occur because of accidents, sickness, critical illness and death, but life protection gives you valuable peace of mind. Newcastle Financial Advisers offer advice on different types of protection policies and what may be the best option for you and your family. 


If you or your family were to lose your regular income, a protection policy could help you to:

  • Pay off your mortgage or continue to make mortgage payments

  • Maintain you or your family’s lifestyle

  • Pay for replacement childcare

  • Cover school or university fees

  • Pay for specialist nursing support

You may already have these policies in place, but it’s always worth reviewing your policies to make sure the type and amount of cover provided still matches your personal circumstances.

Protection & Critical illness cover

A financial adviser speaking to a customer in Carlisle branch

"During a review I told my adviser I had recently had a health condition. He told me I could make a claim on one of the policies that included critical illness cover. I had no idea. The claim was successful and has resulted in financial security for me and my family.

I couldn't have asked for anything more and I would strongly recommend having a review with a Newcastle Financial Adviser to anyone."

Impressed with the support he received, Newcastle Financial Advisers are now helping Steven's partner obtain critical illness cover.
