What insurance do BAPLA members need?

We advise that all BAPLA members and professionals working in this industry have professional indemnity insurance, which offers vital protection when you hold large collections of images for which clearances might be required.

If you have any employees, it is compulsory in the UK to have employers’ liability. Even if you employ an extra pair of hands for a short period of time, such as assistants, you should always maintain employers’ liability.

Typically, we also suggest you consider cyber insurance to protect from hacker attacks, and if you have an office, you’ll probably need to insure your spaces and equipment too.
