So, what do you need?
Public Liability Insurance & Care, Custody and Control Insurance
Our dog walking insurance will protect your business against the financial consequences of claims that a member of the public may make as a result of injury or damage to them or their property. All dog walkers have some interaction with the public; the law states that if you or your business cause damage to someone or their property then you will have to pay for damages. A public liability policy will cover you and your business should the worst occur. This includes instances where a dog in your control causes injury to another animal or person or even causes damage to someones property.
Employers Liability Insurance
If your business employs anybody, it is compulsory by law to have employer's liability insurance. This will protect your company against the financial consequences of claims made by an employee who has suffered injury, death or illness at work. When you take out a policy you will receive a certificate which must be displayed in an area where employees can easily read it.
*Please note that if an individual does not exclusively work for you (i.e. you use self employed coaches) then we will consider them to be sub-contractors and therefore you will not be required to cover them under employer's liability, provided they have their own public liability insurance.
