Simply Business, a Boston-based digital insurance agency offering small business owners access to top insurance providers, has partnered with the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) risk retention group (RRG) to offer general and professional liability insurance solutions for social workers and allied health professionals. NASW RRG is a captive insurance company established to provide liability insurance for a specific group of policyholders who share a common interest. According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics, social work is expected to grow significantly and at a much faster rate than other industries in the coming years. The new partnership will allow NASW members to use Simply Business to find the insurance coverage they need. Commenting on the partnership, David Summers, group CEO of Simply Business, says: “Demand for social workers has increased, and so have the different risks they need to manage.” He adds: “By nature of their profession, concern about their own well-being often comes secondary to keeping their patients and their families safe. We're pleased to partner with NASW to give its members greater peace of mind, especially amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic." Tony Benedetto, CEO of the NASW RRG, notes: “At the NASW RRG, we understand the value that social workers and health professionals provide to our communities particularly when so many are in need of the services that social workers provide.”
