Take control of your finances

 A new financial education programme from Teachers Assurance helps teachers take control of their finances. It includes new online financial calculator tools, Money Talks in schools and a seminar programme.

Wendie Michie from Teachers Assurance says the services are free because “we believe teachers should have the education they need to make confident and informed decisions.”
