Insurance

Do any of you that teach have insurance. I`ve heard alot dont have any insurace cover at all.

i use the b.c.a , found them to be good .
5million public and private , indemnenty ect.
does the job

I'm with the B.C.A. too, got their news letter which said there was a problem with people getting hurt before they join the club (free try lesson) and are not insured!!

yea it's a nightmare , i do give 2 weeks free trail , and it is tricky .
my students dont pay for licences , i do it out of their fee's .
i never know what to do ,if i licence them imegiately then i can loose alot of cash if they don't sign up .
i have on average 10-15 new students trying out every week , and maybe 2-3 sign up , i would loose out of hundreds of pounds a week .
i dont know anyone who insists that a prospective student has to buy a licence for "x" amount before they even step on the matt's
i can also see were peter and dawn are coming from .
cheers

Was thinking of running a free self defence course for NHS staff, but don't know how i stand with that, but think i may not be covered. Wish I had that red man suit Matt!

You could get trial students/participants in free courses to sign an indemnity waiver form

what is that takakai
