Appropriate insurance is a key part of professional practice and provides reassurance that advice is delivered responsibly and with appropriate safeguards in place.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
We maintain Professional Indemnity cover of £1,000,000. This provides protection in the unlikely event that our advice causes a financial loss for a client. For schools and trusts, this means the professional advice we provide, including compliance reports, risk assessments and management recommendations is backed by appropriate indemnity protection.
Public Liability Insurance
Our Public Liability cover of £5,000,000 protects against accidental injury or damage that could occur while we are on site conducting inspections, meetings, or surveys. This ensures that you are not exposed to risk arising from our activities on your premises
If you require copies of our insurance certificates or a certificate of insurance (COI) for your own compliance records, please email office@highwoods.org.uk with your request.
