Introduction

Devon County Council requires all schools whether or not they participate in the Promise Mk 4 to participate in the Mumis scheme.

This scheme does not apply to Voluntary Aided schools.

What is Mumis?

Mumis is an indemnity scheme operated by the County Council to give your school protection from closing or severe disruption should a major unforeseen repair become necessary. It only covers certain unforeseen maintenance work above a defined value.

What are the subscription charges?

The annual subscription to this scheme will be 10% of your allocation for strategic maintenance. This will be deducted at source from your initial allocation.

Mumis offers the following:

This scheme will be administrated in much the same way as a commercial insurance arrangement, whereby the fund will only pay out for a qualifying incident. This means that the entire premium will be “manager controlled”, with no portion of it being ring-fenced for the school.

There is a minimum value of work per incident. £10,000 or 5 times the annual subscription to MUMIS, whichever is the smaller.

Cover excludes work that could reasonably have been foreseen by your school and programmed for renewal. For example, work that was identified in the prioritised maintenance schedule with a priority 1 or 2, could have reasonably been foreseen and dealt with using delegated or devolved school funds.

A significant loss of service would occur where at least one building, specialised teaching area, or a significant number of classrooms are placed out of use because of a building related failure.
