I am looking to find a company that will provide a good insurance policy for a "sideline" that i am putting together. It needs to cover sports therapy and coaching. If you yourself are involved in the health, fitness and medical professions can you recommend anyone.
Please.
Thanks.

Everywhere ive seen seems to just cover themselves with a shit tonne of disclaimers.

Insurance from coaching generally comes from membership of the governing body in conjunction with the qualifications. (in the case of cycling, if you are a BC or ABCC coach and member, you are insured) The costs for doing it off one's own back are apparently astronomical.

TBH I think it's a good idea on the whole, as it can put off people setting themselves up as a "coach" without any qualifications (and therefore more likely in the eyes of the insurers to be a risk). Bearing in mind that the qualifications involve CRB and 1st aid it makes a lot of sense.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
