Frequently asked questions about independent school insurance
Even with the best intentions, accidents can happen anywhere on the school site. Comprehensive insurance protects your client’s independent school against the costs associated with repairs, replacements or legal action.
Some of the potential hazards facing independent schools include:
- Injury – to third parties, including staff, pupils and volunteers, on-site and away from the school gates. From playground falls to classroom mishaps, schools could be held liable if someone is injured. And the risk landscape can increase where students board at the school
- Damage or loss – to school buildings and contents, caused by events like fire, malicious damage, floods or storms. This can include cover for state-of-the-art education equipment and sports facilities
- Legal costs – if your client’s school is ever challenged in court by a member of staff, a parent, suppliers or visitors
Public liability insurance and professional liability cover provide financial protection against the different risks facing independent schools.
Public liability cover protects your client’s school against third-party claims of injury or property damage. For example, if a student falls on-site or a visitor’s car is damaged.
Professional liability insurance, also known as professional indemnity insurance, protects schools against financial loss claims made against them for services they provide to other organisations for a fee. It also provides cover for failure to educate claims.
Our independent school insurance can be tailored to the needs of your client’s educational institution, and costs depend on a variety of factors. Contact our team today to discuss your client’s needs.
