Self Employed Carer Insurance
Insurance to protect you when you care for others…
If you’re a carer or Personal Assistant to others, it’s equally important that you take care of yourself. Our Carer’s Insurance protects you when you’re looking after others, with no excess to pay if you need to make a claim.
The effect that Carers and Personal Assistants can have on individuals life is significant and such role is often rewarding, but it also comes with a range of risks, such as;
- Accidental Injury to any person in relation to your work for example your client, or a member of the public
- Injury to yourself because of your work
- Loss or damage to property
- Allegations of abuse or negligence
Cover is provided up to £5 million worth of public liability insurance for carers, with additional protection in place against any claims for damage or loss of property and personal injury. The legal expenses element protects against liability for legal defence costs and a 24-hour Legal Advice Helpline is available should you need further support.
Personal Assistant Insurance can cover you for a whole year from just £6.25 a month or you may wish to opt for short-term carers insurance policies from £12.50 for the whole policy, making it an ideal and affordable option for those who require business insurance for carers.
Our Policies Change Lives
