Frequently asked questions

Q
Does my care business need Employers Liability Insurance?
A
Yes. Under the Employers’ Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act, all organisations that have staff are required by law to have Employers Liability Insurance.
Q
How much public liability cover will I need?
A
The level of cover you need is related to the amount of risk faced by your business. Cover can be anywhere from £2m to £10m or beyond. The minimum value could be dictated by the clients you work with, or local authority contracts you have tendered for.
Q
What's the minimum cover I need to have in place for my care business?
A
You are legally required to have cover for compensation of at least £5 million, but most policies will offer cover for £10 million. The cost of your care provider insurance premium is usually based on a number of factors including: the nature of your business; the number of people you employ (and/or the payroll cost); your previous insurance claims. In the case of larger organisations or where a number of employees are in one location, increased limits are recommended.
Q
When do I need to get Employer's liability cover for my care business?
A
You require employers’ liability cover from the day your care business starts employing staff. From the moment you have any person to whom you are responsible, whether paid or not, you are at risk of legal action. To qualify as "staff" a person does not have to be paid or under contract to you. It includes any person to whom you have a legal duty of care. This means that sometimes even sole traders will need employers’ liability insurance.
