Guest Tutors & Locum Liability
Are there occasions when other instructors take your classes?
If you occasionally introduce your students to other Yoga teachers and are unsure that these teachers have insurance themselves, you might wish to consider this.
Generally this would apply in two situations:
- Guest Tutor's Liability extends to indemnify you if you arrange Seminars, Workshops, Master Classes or Retreats where specialists, masters or other experts are brought in especially, sometimes from overseas.
- Locum Tutor's Liability extends your cover so that a temporary replacement teacher can take your classes in your absence (maximum 8 per person per annum).
Although many National/International Yogis would carry their own insurance, it cannot be assumed that this is always the case. Similarly, occasional teachers providing cover on an irregular basis may not have kept their insurance in force, especially if they consider themselves to be (semi) retired.
If you are either unsure that someone has the cover needed or you are reluctant to enquire too closely on the subject, you might consider it worthwhile to protect your own position by adding an extension of cover to your own Yoga-Link certificate.
The current cost for these extensions is £36.50* (each).
*(Includes insurance premium tax @ 5% and £5 administrative charge)
