Asked Questions
What qualifications do I need to be eligible for therapist insurance?
In order for us to provide cover for your chosen activity, you must have the relevant certificates or qualifications from a recognised and accredited UK training college or company covering the treatments, services or duties being carried out.
Is there a cooling-off period?
Yes, should you change your mind or wish to cancel your policy for whatever reason, we offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase provided the policy has not been relied upon, and no incidents have occurred which could result in a claim. Where cancellations are made after 14 days of the start date of the policy, as long as no claims have been submitted, for most policy types we will refund the proportion of the premium paid at the point of cancellation equivalent to the unused portion of the policy, less a Cancellation Fee.
