Why do you need career coaching insurance?
Clients come to you for help with a variety of issues, seeking your professional expertise. No doubt you aim to provide the best experience possible. But sometimes, even with the best intentions, things can go wrong and are out of your control.
That’s why specialist career coaching insurance is essential for your business. It allows you to offer your services securely, knowing you’re covered if a claim is made against you. No matter how experienced and qualified you are, unexpected incidents can happen, so it’s best to be prepared.
Career coaching insurance covers these potential situations, giving you the confidence to focus on your clients.
Protection from claims for accidental public injury.
Whilst holding a career coaching session a client may trip over a chair, fall and hurt themselves, this could be considered your responsibility and might result in a claim against you.
Having public liability cover can protect you against these incidents avoiding the expense of a claim yourself.
Protection against allegations of negligence.
You may offer coaching plans as part of your career coaching service whereby a client follows your advice. If they consider this advice to have caused them harm, it may result in a claim against you. You could be expected to pay damages in compensation.
Having professional indemnity in your policy is the cover you need to ensure you are protected from these situations.
Protection if a workplace accident prevents you earning.
If an accident at work results in an injury to yourself and you need to take some time off work. Avoid loss of earnings; personal accident cover can provide you with financial support if you suffer an injury or accident whilst working.
