Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance for home-based tutoring?

Yes. You're liable if a student is injured in your home. Public liability protects you and is often required by parents.

What if a student claims I breached safeguarding?

Public liability covers legal defence costs. However, prevention is critical—maintain proper records, have clear policies, and consider DBS screening if working with children.

Does the cover include online tutoring?

Online tutoring has different risks. Physical property damage is unlikely. Data protection and privacy risks may need cyber liability insurance instead.

Am I covered if a student has a medical emergency?

If it's not your fault, insurance won't pay (it's just an emergency). If your negligence caused it (e.g., ignoring allergy), you are liable and covered.
