Working with leading UK insurance providers
Founded by Karla Edwards, The Protection Parent was born out of a desire to change the way people think about insurance. Karla realised early in her career as a protection adviser that the industry often focused too much on the “sale” and not enough on the people behind the policy.
She saw that many families in the UK were left financially vulnerable, not because they didn’t care, but because the world of insurance felt complicated, overwhelming, and sometimes even cold. Karla founded The Protection Parent to bridge that gap, bringing a human touch, a clear conscience, and a genuine passion for protecting what matters most: your family.

Milly was absolutely amazing throughout. Really friendly and knowledgable. I now have life insurance, critical illness cover, pregnancy cover and cover for the baby, for literally the equivalent of what I probably spend on coffee a month, or my phone contract! Can’t believe I didn’t sort this sooner, the process was really smooth and literally sorted in less than 24 hours. Also really worth looking into the world wide cancer cover options too. Thank you so much for all of your help. Charlotte

Karla was amazing !! She explained everything to me for me and my partners insurance, not only the dearest options but all available options with different pricing and different variation on what we could have covered. She made sure I had all of my questions answered and was super efficient when doing this. She has helped me and partner massively with needing life insurance, Plus also gave us guidance for home and context insurance too. I honestly could not reccomend her enough. Thank you so much for all your help Karla ! You have made this process so easy !

Amazing service start to finish. Karla is brilliant, she’s very knowledgable and honest. Karla made us feel like family and there was no pressure to spend loads of money. Karla gave us so many options and we went through every single detail until we were happy. Thank you for helping protect my family and me with such excellent cover.

Karla put the work into helping me understand the cover I actually needed, what the barriers were to getting it, and finding the right level of cover for me with my somewhat interesting medical history. I'm confident I've the right cover in place now and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I was recommended to Karla at The Protection Parent by a friend. I already had life insurance and critical illness policies in place, but I was also looking for income protection. I contacted Karla, and she was friendly and professional throughout. She found me a great policy and also reviewed my existing cover. Following the review, she managed to upgrade my policy so that I had much better cover at a cheaper rate. I would highly recommend Karla for your insurance needs.

We have used Karla for our life insurance needs for the last 2 and a half years and have recently changed our policy. Nothing is too much trouble including the endless questions. She knows the ins and outs of the products she is recommending. Communication is so easy, Would definitely recommend. Coral & Luke

Karla was extremely knowledgable and went above and beyond in talking though policies and answering questions. She made the whole process really easy and straightforward, with great advice, support and communication throughout. It’s reassuring to know you have a good broker and advisor on your side to make sure policies are set up correctly. Many thanks for all your help and advice! Would highly recommend! 👏🏻👍🏻
