What does an Oxygen™ insurance policy cover?

Public and product liability

As standard, we provide £10 million in insurance covering your public liability if you take out professional indemnity and malpractice cover. This ensures your protection in case of accidental bodily injury or property damage resulting from negligence, like a client or student experiencing a trip-and-fall incident within your practice space, whether at home, in your workplace, or on other premises.

Professional indemnity and malpractice

This insurance protects against claims related to your work as a therapist or wellbeing consultant. Suppose a client alleges that your actions or guidance resulted in their injury or illness. In that case, you may need to defend your teaching methods and approach. It offers civil liability, not just for professional negligence, giving you peace of mind. There are five levels of cover to choose from, ranging from £1.5 million to £10 million.

Personal accident 

Without insurance, you may face substantial income loss if you cannot service your clients due to an accident sustained while working or outside of your professional practice. Not to mention any potential medical expenses you may incur. Personal accident insurance is an optional upgrade that provides financial support, ensuring you can cover your expenses and maintain your quality of life while you recover. There are three levels of cover available:

  • £5,000 death and injury lump sum or £50 weekly benefit.
  • £10,000 death and injury lump sum or £100 weekly benefit.
  • £25,000 death and injury lump sum or £250 weekly benefit.

If you require higher cover limits, please speak to one of our advisors who can arrange an alternative quotation.

Complaints and disciplinary hearings 

You'll receive special assistance responding to a complaint made against you to your professional body or regulators. We're here to support you, including giving specialised help in preparing your response and legal representation at or leading up to disciplinary hearings

Crisis containment 

Get up to £25,000 of cover for managing and mitigating crises specific to your approaches. As a therapist or wellbeing practitioner, you might face situations that could harm your reputation or financial stability. This cover helps with crisis management expenses, public relations, legal support, response planning, and reputation protection.

Directors and officers liability 

If you're a limited company, you'll receive up to £100,000 cover for key individuals facing allegations of personal wrongdoing. This protects directors, officers, partners, and other leaders in case of accusations like breach of duty, trust, negligent errors, defamation, or health and safety failure.

Transfer of client records 

Get up to £5,000 for assistance with destroying or transferring client files to another similar business if you die or permanently unable to work due to a disablement.

Additional options

  • Disputed fees cover.
  • Confidential notes and records cover.
  • Loss of documents, including your business records, (up to £60,000).
  • Statutory and criminal prosecution defence costs (up to £10 million).
  • Worldwide cover (excluding USA & Canada) including overseas personal liability.

*1 How we work out example prices. Customers will pay £92.32 a year for professional indemnity of £1.5m if they are also a member of one of the recognised professional bodies that receive 20% discount from us. £1.79 per week is based on a monthly cost when paying for the policy in one annual payment. Paying monthly is usually more expensive as you'll pay interest. This is the prices from amount as customers have the option of increasing their level of cover and therefore may pay more than this.

*2 No excess applies to the core therapists insurance (public liability, professional indemnity, employers liability, directors and officers), however, for any additional insurance taken certain excess may apply. Please contact us for details.

*3 In 2023, Oxygen™ proudly received the Feefo Gold Trusted Service Award for excellence in customer service.
