Career consultancy insurance is designed for career consultants, careers advisers and coaching practices helping people with job searches, career change, interview preparation, CVs, employability programmes and workplace transition. Professional indemnity is usually the core cover, supported by cyber, liability and office protection where required.

• Career coaches and employability coaches
• Outplacement and redundancy-support consultants

• Public liability for injury or property damage during meetings, workshops or client sessions
• Employers' liability where staff, trainees or supervised workers are employed

Typical Career Consultancy Risks

Claims can involve alleged poor advice, disputed assessment feedback, confidentiality breaches, data loss, missed deadlines, unsuitable training recommendations, contract disputes, safeguarding concerns or dissatisfaction after a client relies on your guidance during a career decision.

Professional Indemnity for Career Advice

Professional indemnity can help where a client alleges your advice, report or coaching caused a financial or professional loss. Insurers will usually want to understand your client groups, services, contract terms, qualifications, safeguarding procedures, fee income and previous claims history.

Client Data, Workshops and Online Coaching

Career consultants often hold CVs, employment history, assessment notes and other sensitive personal data. Cyber cover, public liability and equipment insurance can sit alongside professional indemnity, especially where services are delivered online, in workshops or on client premises.
