Do I need public liability for schools?

Public liability insurance for schools is not a legal requirement, but it is likely to be one of the most important types of insurance you’ll need. Our public liability insurance for schools provides cover for the cost of compensation claims made by members of the public for illness, injury or property damage while on school grounds or during related activities.
