Event Organiser's Insurance
Public Liability and Products Insurance cover to run your Homeschooling Activities

This insurance is designed to cover the volunteer parent/guardian who organises group events for home educating families.
The organiser(s) must be a current HEA member and attend the event.
The organiser(s) must be acting in a volunteer capacity.
The HEA recommends you request access to this public liability insurance whenever you organise a group homeschooling event. Do this by registering your event with the link button below. Responsibility to understand the cover and exclusions falls to the organiser of the event.
The cover is ideal when you are hiring a meeting space, as many venues require public liability insurance.
