Register of public liability insurers
The Chair and Panel recommend that the Association of British Insurers considers whether a register of public liability insurers could be introduced to assist claimants in child sexual abuse cases in locating the insurers relevant to their claim, and how it would operate. The Chair and Panel recommend that the Association of British Insurers sets out its consideration of the issue and the conclusions it has reached in a written update within 12 months of the publication of this report.
- In May 2023, the government noted that the ABI had raised concerns about feasibility (Government Response to IICSA Final Report, HM Government, May 2023).
- No published register of public liability insurers to assist CSA claimants has been identified to March 2026.
