An arson prevention project has been launched by Zurich Municipal and the Arson Prevention Bureau. The initiative is intended to tackle the massive rise in school arson attacks.

Figures recently revealed by Zurich Municipal and the Arson Prevention Bureau showed that in recent years an average of three arson attacks a day take place in schools across the country. It has cost schools £45m in the first four months of this year alone.

The project involves showing a specially commissioned play aimed at raising awareness of the consequences of arson to school children in Nottingham.


The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
