What Does Our Dance Movement Therapy Insurance Cover?

from £47.04* per year

Our comprehensive Dance Movement Therapy Insurance includes essential coverages specifically tailored to protect professionals in your field:

  • £3m Public Liability

  • This fundamental coverage protects you if a client or member of the public suffers an injury or property damage related to your business activities. Our standard policies include £3 million in public liability protection, with options to increase to £5 million if required by specific venues.

  • £3m Products Liability

  • If you provide or sell products to your clients, such as movement props, therapeutic tools, or educational materials, this coverage protects you if these items cause injury or damage. This ensures you’re covered if a client is injured by equipment you’ve provided as part of their therapy programme.

  • £3m Malpractice Cover

  • Also known as professional indemnity insurance, this essential coverage specifically protects against claims arising from the professional services you provide. This protection covers legal defence costs and any compensation awarded.

  • £10k Financial Loss Cover

  • This protects you against claims for purely economic losses that don’t involve physical injury or property damage. We automatically include substantial financial loss coverage in our policies, giving you added peace of mind.

* This price is for £3m public, products and malpractice cover (up to £5m available) and £10k financial loss cover for a sole trader. It includes insurance premium tax and excludes our admin charge. ALL customers will pay this amount UNLESS they choose to take out additional optional covers or treatments which are priced separately.

Additional Dance Movement Therapy Insurance Options

We also offer several optional covers that many dance movement therapists find valuable:

Personal Accident Insurance

Provides financial support if you cannot work due to your own injury, helping replace lost income during recovery periods.

Equipment Insurance

Covers your specialised therapy equipment, music systems, and other professional resources against damage, theft, or loss.

Employer’s Liability Insurance

A legal requirement if you employ staff, protecting you against claims from employees who are injured or become ill through their work.

Why do you need Dance Movement Therapy Insurance?

Your work guides clients through physical movements while addressing emotional and psychological aspects, meaning claims could arise from physical injuries and allegations of emotional harm.  Without adequate insurance, you will be liable for the cost of any claims.

What Risks Do Dance Movement Therapists Face?

Dance Movement Therapy involves physical and psychological elements, creating a unique risk profile that requires specialist insurance protection.

Get a Quote

Risk of injury

Imagine an elderly client were to fall during one of your dance therapy sessions.  You could be liable and would need to fund any compensation claim.

Property damage risk

If you were to damage a client’s property as a result of one of your sessions, you could be deemed liable.  Perhaps you knocked over an expensive vase while attending a client’s home for a private session.  Or you spilt your water on a client’s smartphone.  Your insurer could be your lifeline in these examples.

No insurance

Even the most skilled and ethical dance movement therapists 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.

Our Dance Movement Therapy Insurance starts from just £47.04 per year, providing essential peace of mind at an affordable price.

Excellent claims support

An insurance policy is only worth its cost when you need help in the event of a claim.  At Holistic Gold, we are here for you every step of the way.  We will advise you through the claims process and defend your position in allegations of wrongdoing.  Equally, where you are at fault, we will settle and claims promptly and fairly.
