Get in touchWhat is speech therapists insurance?
Speech therapists insurance is a specialist policy that protects speech and language therapists from the clinical risks of assessing and treating communication disorders, swallowing difficulties and developmental conditions. It typically includes professional indemnity and public liability.
If a client claims your assessment was incorrect, your therapy programme was inappropriate, or your swallowing assessment missed a serious risk, professional indemnity covers the resulting claim.
