About trustee liability insurance
What does trustee liability cover do?
Trustee liability insurance covers your costs when defending or settling a wide range of claims. Your policy protects you against fines and compensation claims as well as any legal costs arising from them.
Who needs trustee liability insurance?
Trustees, directors, officers, committee members and governors of public organisations can be held personally responsible for decisions and actions made on behalf of their organisation. They may also be sued or prosecuted for any mistakes and their consequences, during the performance of their duties. If you hold one of these roles, you need trustee indemnity insurance.
What level of trustee liability cover do I need?
Flexible indemnity insurance policies offer several levels of cover up to £10 million. Costs vary according to the level of cover you need, but our experts will work with you to make sure you get exactly the right level of protection for your needs.
