What is ChildShield?

ChildShield by MetLife is a specialist children’s protection policy designed to provide financial support if your child experiences an accident, requires hospital treatment, or is diagnosed with a covered serious illness. Designed specifically for children from birth to adulthood, it offers benefits not typically included within standard life or critical illness policies, including cover for broken bones, hospital stays, certain serious conditions, virtual GP access, and wellbeing support.

With no limit on the number of children covered or claims that can be made, ChildShield provides valuable peace of mind and financial support when your family needs it most, helping you focus on what matters most – your child’s wellbeing.
