This is Part 3 of a 6 Part mini-series on things to consider when thinking about returning to face to face sessions.
This is a really simple one to answer and the answer is – don’t rely on anyone else to tell you. Go to your insurance provider and find out what they’re saying. Some insurers will have their policy stated on their website, or they may have contacted their customers via an email or letter.
If your insurance hasn’t done that, contact them and ask them directly. Some insurers are happy to continue cover as usual, others have imposed certain caveats / restrictions and others still might be with holding insurance for in person sessions.
Remember that membership of most professional organisations (like BACP) require that you have adequate professional insurance. Don’t take any chances based on what other practitioners might be posting online. If in doubt, speak to your insurer directly.
