About iNED
For all insurance non-executive directors
Welcome to iNED. We provide invaluable information for insurance Non-Executive Directors (iNEDs), aspiring iNEDs, compliance staff, company secretaries and all those interested in corporate governance.
Past codes of conduct and today’s regulatory bodies in the UK financial services sector place considerable and very detailed demands and expectations on insurance non-executive directors and iNED offers a range of events and resources to support them. These include:
- The iNED Primer
- Forums featuring hot topics of a regulatory, technical, commercial or behavioural nature, presented by influential speakers
All educational events are CII CPD accredited and include business and social networking opportunities
iNED events are open to everybody – members of The Worshipful Company of Insurers and non-members.
The iNED committee oversees the work of iNED

The iNED Primer
Comprehensive guide for all iNEDs
The iNED Primer is an invaluable resource for all insurance non-executive directors. It is frequently up-dated by a team of experts to ensure all the information and advice is relevant and accurate.
Today’s regulatory bodies in the UK financial services sector place considerable and increasing demands and expectations on Non-Executive Directors (NEDs).
Codes of corporate governance, regulations, rule-books and best practice manuals abound, but few exist in one place to offer aspiring or new insurance Non-Executive Directors (iNEDs) information that will readily help them to fulfil their onerous duties.
The Worshipful Company of Insurers has addressed this issue by creating a comprehensive iNED Primer, specifically designed for aspiring and new iNEDs as well as existing Non-Executive Directors across the UK insurance industry.
It places great emphasis on providing practical help to iNEDs by adopting a question and answer approach.
The iNED Primer draws attention to the key requirements of a NED and begins with an understanding of the role. It then asks a series of questions that are relevant “before joining a Board of Directors”.
The iNED Primer concentrates on a range of responsibilities “during their time as a NED”.
It also addresses some of the problems that might arise “after the NED has been appointed”.
