PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE

Most commentators agree that we live in a litigious world and whenever an error or omission occurs, particularly if it results in a financial loss, the party that has suffered (including their insurers and legal advisors) will look to the offending party or parties to recover. The net that is thrown in such circumstances is increasingly wide and it is becoming common for all those involved (or potentially involved) to be named in any legal action. Even if the claim is spurious, the cost of defending such actions can be considerable.
Here at Focused Consulting Limited we are mindful of how this trend could affect our temporary employees personally and we have therefore made specific provision within our insurance arrangements so as to include professional indemnity insurance for our temporary employees in respect of their work on any Focused Consulting Limited authorised assignment – except those working on nursing and any other health or care related assignments.

Your inclusion in the Scheme will continue on a weekly basis, with cover expiring at 23.59pm on each Friday. Cover however will be renewed automatically for subsequent periods of one week provided you continue to contribute 97p per week for professional indemnity insurance.

A summary of the policy is available upon request.
