SPECIALIST INSURANCE FOR CHANGE MANAGEMENT CONTRACTORS

What Is Change Management Contractor Insurance?

Change managers help organisations implement new systems, processes and cultural shifts. This work involves advisory risk, project oversight, stakeholder direction and high client expectations.

Our contractor insurance protects you against professional errors, financial loss claims, contract disputes, and liabilities that arise while delivering transformation and change programmes.

Key Insurance Covers for Change Management Contractors

Most contract frameworks and consultancy clients expect the following as standard:


  • Professional Indemnity (PI) – essential for advisory roles. Covers financial loss arising from advice, strategy errors or transformation misalignment.
  • Public Liability (PL) – covers injury or property damage if incidents occur onsite.
  • Employers’ Liability (EL) – required if you employ assistants or subcontractors.
  • Cyber Liability – vital if handling sensitive business information, data or digital workflows.
  • Contractual Liability – helps meet requirements in SOWs or transformation T&Cs.

  • Management Liability – protects directors of your consultancy entity.
  • Portable Equipment Insurance – laptops, hardware and specialist consulting equipment.
  • Business Interruption – where applicable, covers disruption to work after insured events.
  • Legal Expenses – support for contract disputes, tax/IR35 issues and client disagreements.
