A Public Liability policy will protect your legal costs in defending a claim, and any damages (compensation) you are liable to pay to a third party for bodily injury or property damage.
Whether you are an individual teacher giving lessons, or you own a dance school and employ/contract other teachers, it is extremely risky to do so without proper insurance cover. Accidents happen, whether you (or your instructors/employees) are at fault or not, you still may be held responsible for injuries that your students or anyone accompanying them, sustain during class, performances or rehearsals.
Where you own or lease you’re a dance studio, the risks are even greater, as injury compensation claims are now routinely made for everything from slipping on graveled driveways to tripping over obstacles in poor light.
Whilst there are many insurance products available to purchase on the internet, without discussing your requirements with a qualified broker, you may find yourself with gaps in your policy and a claim being declined by the insurer in which you would need to pay for the legal costs yourself.
If you are not directly responsible or alleged to be responsible for causing an injury, then the liability policy does not respond and the injured person is accountable for their own injury. E.g. If a student sprains their ankle in class and no one is at fault (I.E An accident) a claim cannot be made under a liability policy, you may wish to look at covering your students under a “group accident” policy. A public Liability policy protects you, should a third party allege you are at fault and seek legal advice.

Not only can directors be held personally liable (exposing personal wealth) but also managers and employees. As the regulatory environment changes, directors are often unaware of their full responsibilities at law. Directors are responsible for the risk management of their company.
