Mrs Harkin - Teacher's Liability Insurance

Teachers insurance in detail

The policy is specifically designed for teachers and covers teaching all academic subjects plus sports coaching, music, drama, technology, cookery, and practical science activities.

Instant cover available from just £114 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.

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 through any crisis on a day-to-day basis.
