FAQs
Who can care insurance cover?
We provide care insurance for organisations providing personal and nursing care, hospices and day centres that are registered or exempt charities.
Can care insurance cover charity trustees?
If you are a charity, we can provide charity trustee insurance cover. This cover is provided on a ‘claims made’ basis, which means it covers only claims made against you – and notified to us – during the period of insurance. We must be notified as soon as possible of any claim or any circumstances likely to give rise to a claim.
