Your advice is invaluable. Make sure it’s protected with the right coverage

As an HR consultant, your guidance helps businesses build stronger, more efficient teams. But with that expertise comes the responsibility to ensure everything you advise is right for your clients and their employees. One misstep - whether it’s a dispute over advice or a data breach - can quickly escalate, damaging both your reputation and your business.

Our insurance means you can relax knowing you're covered for the unexpected, so you can keep advising businesses with confidence.

Recommended Insurance for HR Consultants 

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional Indemnity Insurance is a must-have for HR consultants, as it covers you if a client believes your advice was incorrect or negligent and has led to financial loss. Whether your advice led to incorrect procedure or mishandling employee data, this policy protects you from the legal consequences of any mistakes, providing cover for the legal representation and any compensation you may owe.



Public Liability Insurance

Public Liability Insurance covers the defence of legal disputes following third-party injuries or property damage caused by you while you're working. If you're on-site conducting workshops or in an office with clients and something goes wrong - like a slip and fall or damaged equipment - this policy will help cover the costs of claims against you.



Income Protection Insurance

If an illness or injury prevents you from working, Income Protection Insurance protects your financial security. Since HR consultants often work as independent professionals or small business owners, this policy helps you maintain a steady income while you recover, giving you the peace of mind to focus on your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of your insurance depends on factors like the type of work you do, your annual turnover, and the level of cover you need - every business is different. You’re in control of your policy, so you’ll only pay for the cover that’s right for you. Plus, with our price-match guarantee, if you find an equivalent policy cheaper elsewhere, we’ll do our best to match it. And for most trades, our premiums stay the same for turnovers up to £250,000 per year.

  • Professional Indemnity - from £270 per annum
  • Public Liability - from £55 per annum
  • Employers Liability - from £55 per annum (can only be purchased alongside Public Liability)
  • Personal Accident from £56.25 per annum
  • Legal Protection - £70.50 per annum 

If you're a self-employed HR consultant, having your own insurance is highly recommended. It protects you in case of accidental damage, injuries, or even legal claims. Plus, it gives clients peace of mind, knowing they’re working with a responsible, professional service provider. So, while it's not always legally required, it's a smart investment that can safeguard both your finances and your reputation.

The amount of Professional Indemnity insurance you need depends on the nature of your work, the size of your projects, and client requirements.
