As a self-employed freelance groom, you’re not entitled to Statutory Sick Pay.
We strongly recommend you to have personal accident insurance to protect your income in the case of an injury that leaves you unable to work.
We also advise you have public liability insurance to protect you against third party claims.
Our KBIS Freelance Groom Public Liability insurance will provide you with the protection you need for both your liability to the public (against claims made by a third party who has suffered an injury or property damage due to your negligence) and the horses that you care for.
It is not personal accident insurance, that is a separate type of cover that protects you and your income if you were to have an accident at work.
“I just love how easy it is to us the Client Agreement Creator, it took minutes to create contracts for each of my clients, and makes me look so professional!”
“I need to have risk assessments to satisfy my Freelance Grooms Liability Insurance. The BGA’s template means I was able to quickly create a document for each yard I visit.”
