This will protect you against any person who makes a claim against you for ‘bodily injury’ or property damage caused by a negligent action on your part.
2. Product Liability
This will protect you against any person who makes a claim against you for ‘bodily injury’ or property damage caused by a fault in the products that you have made.

4. Personal Accident
This cover provides 24hr personal accident to all approved accredited members and provides income replacement for those who are injured and cannot work in their arts practice. Payments are calculated off the income earned by the artist from their practice over the past two years. Please ensure you read the list of included and excluded causes of injury.

This policy extends to include the activities of the Accredited Member when teaching or training students. Where a Member is conducting workshop activities to pass on skills and supplement their income under their own name, there is a limit of twelve workshops per annum with a maximum of 10 persons per class with students under the age of 18 where you have sole duty of care*. There are no limits on teaching adults. (*this clause can vary according to insurance category) Where a Member is engaged as an artist/musician/artsworker in residence by a school or engaged by local authorities or other organisations where they are working on community projects or training a group/s, the limits do not apply.
