Insurance provided by a Standard & Poor’s A (Strong) rated insurer.
We’ve been working with businesses like yours for over 40 years.
Tailor-made insurance policies, made for specialists, by specialists.
Our comprehensive Conciliation Mediation Insurance includes essential coverages specifically tailored to protect professionals in your field:
This fundamental coverage protects you if a client or member of the public suffers an injury or property damage related to your business activities. For mediators, this might include incidents at your mediation venue or during site visits. Our standard policies include £3 million in protection, with options to increase to £5 million if required.
If you provide or sell products to your clients, such as mediation guides, conflict resolution workbooks, or training materials, this coverage protects you if these items cause injury or damage. This protection extends to any materials you’ve developed to support the mediation process.
Also known as professional indemnity or treatment risk insurance, this crucial coverage protects against claims arising from your professional mediation services. This might include allegations that you breached confidentiality, showed bias, or failed to follow proper mediation procedures. This protection covers legal defence costs and any compensation awarded.
This protects you against claims for purely economic losses that don’t involve physical injury or property damage. In mediation, this could cover situations where parties claim your actions led to unfavourable settlement terms. We automatically include £10,000 of financial loss coverage in our policies.
We also offer several optional covers:
Provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to an injury, helping replace lost income during recovery periods. This coverage ensures your practice can weather unexpected personal setbacks.
Covers your business equipment, including laptops, recording devices for documenting sessions, and office furnishings against damage, theft, or loss. This protection is particularly valuable if you travel to different venues for mediation sessions.
If you employ administrative staff or co-mediators, this legally required coverage protects you against claims from employees who are injured or become ill as a result of working for you. The coverage extends to both full-time and part-time staff members.
All our policies are customisable to your specific professional activities.
Our Conciliation Mediation Insurance is designed for qualified mediation and conciliation professionals working across the UK, including:
If you incorporate multiple therapeutic or dispute resolution approaches, we can create a bespoke policy covering all aspects of your professional activities.
Mediation and conciliation involve navigating complex disputes and facilitating communication between parties who may have deeply entrenched positions. While your expertise helps people reach mutually acceptable agreements, there’s always potential for claims if parties feel the process was mishandled or if they believe your actions favoured one side over another.
Even the most skilled and impartial mediators can face such allegations. Without proper insurance, the financial impact of defending against claims could be devastating, even if you’re ultimately not found at fault. Legal fees alone can run into thousands of pounds.
