Association of Teachers of Lipreading to Adults

British Dyslexia Association

Specially developed to protect teachers, lecturers, and tutors who are self-employed or provide private tuition, lecturing, or coaching outside of their main employment.

If you undertake any private work outside of your LA’s or employer’s direct control you will not be covered by your employer’s insurance and could be personally liable if you were held responsible for an accident or breach of professional duty.

Our teachers’ liability insurance scheme is available for most types of educational consultants, including those operating limited companies.

Mr Rees - Teacher's Liability Insurance

Teachers insurance in detail

As part of its commitment to providing members with essential support services and resources, the British Dyslexia Association has arranged an insurance scheme to protect members who provide private tuition, lecturing, or coaching outside of their main employment.

The policy is specifically designed for British Dyslexia Association members and covers teaching all academic subjects.

Instant cover available from just £53 a year (plus £10 admin fee).

Professional negligence

Many teachers undertake private work (effectively in a self-employed capacity) without realising that this leaves them open to claims that could be made against them arising from errors and omissions, professional negligence, or other liability. When you are working for the Local Authority or another employer, it is usual for the employer’s own liability insurance policies to provide you with appropriate protection. But when you work outside the course of your normal employment, you are potentially exposed to liability claims which might be brought against you personally by pupils, parents, or third parties.

Designed specially for teachers

Our specialist teacher’s liability policy brings together the required cover in one simple package and it is so competitively priced that there’s now no need to leave yourself without cover:

The application process is quick and simple

Everything is done online.

Costs are kept to a minimum

Specially negotiated for teachers

The scheme has been negotiated specially for teachers, lecturers, and educational consultants and features very broad cover so individual underwriting is unnecessary.

Making a claim

When it comes to private tuition, parents and students may seek to apportion blame for a failure to reach a desired outcome. To some people, blame equals compensation. Nowadays, rather than accepting any personal responsibility, people are encouraged to search for someone else to blame for their misfortunes.

We have a dedicated claims support team of experienced personnel, mainly from insurance company backgrounds. Our people are there to help, support, and manage your insurance claim for you.
