Student year abroad insurance

My daughter is due to spend a year abroad working as a teaching assistant in Madrid. Can anyone recommend what insurance she would require and who could supply it? I hope her University will advise on such matters, but I would like to check it out myself. Any suggestions always appreciated.

    Long stay Travel Insurance including her working should be ok.  Normally the exclusion is no manual labour, but teaching should be ok, unless she is helping to teach bricklaying or similar.  BUT your Daughter should phone the Insurance company before taking out the Insurance just to make sure it is going to cover her.   Then she can ask questions about the cover. 

    STA Travel Insurance who deal with students may be worth phoning to discuss this, as they will deal with such arrangement on a daily basis.
