Tailored insurance for your play therapists
Your work as a play therapist can play an important role in supporting children and their families as they work though often difficult, complex emotions and behaviours. Clearly, working closely with children brings great responsibility, and your work will be guided by important professional standards designed to protect both you and your clients – but things sometimes do go wrong and, when they do, you need the right insurance in place to protect your reputation and livelihood.
You can get comprehensive specialist cover at a competitive price in the next few minutes from as little as £1.79 per week (student therapists can get cover from £1.36 per week).* This includes a professional association discount and a 24-hour legal helpline, as well as no excess on the core therapists insurance.**
Our play therapy insurance delivers the tailored protection you need - stepping in to help with everything from legal fees and compensation, to crisis containment and much more.
- Protection
We offer professional liability insurance that is designed to meet your individual needs, covering your work in play therapy, psychotherapy or counselling - including work as an educator, trainer or supervisor. Underwritten by Hiscox, cover can also be extended to include other work such as dramatherapy, music therapy, and life coaching.
