What Does Education Consulting Insurance Cover?
We’ve had deep chats with educators about the policies they like and need most — so you never pay for coverage you don’t need. Here’s what we’ve come up with together:
Included
Professional Liability Coverage
Also called errors & omissions, E&O, or professional indemnity insurance, professional liability coverage assists education consultants with legal expenses related to work performance, such as misplaced advice or a missed deadline.
This coverage allows you to confidently deliver your expert advice, knowing you’re covered in the case of accidental professional errors, accusations of negligence, or failures in service delivery.
We protect you when
- The customized curriculum you created fails to meet a client’s educational goals, leading to dissatisfaction and potential damages claims
- You incorrectly interpret student performance data, leading to incorrect resource allocation
- You agree to complete an accreditation project for a college by a specific deadline, but an unforeseen delay leads to a failure to deliver on time
Best for
- Advice errors
- Missed deadlines
- Negligence claims
General Liability Coverage
General liability coverage covers common claims, such as property damage and bodily injury that arise from your work as an education consultant. It can also cover legal expenses for customer property damage or injury. Plus, it’s often a contractual requirement for working with schools or school districts.
Education consultants don’t often work in high-risk environments, but that doesn’t mean you’re accident-immune.
We protect you when
- You knock over and break a piece of expensive equipment while conducting a school visit
- A client visits your office for a meeting and slips on a loose carpet, causing an injury that requires medical care
- You accidentally cause damage to school property while doing a site evaluation
Best for
- Medical expenses
- Damaged client property
- Slander, libel, or advertising mistakes
Additional Insureds
Additional insured coverage extends an education consultant’s insurance protection to third parties who could be held liable for claims related to the consultant’s operations. These are parties who might face significant financial risk and legal costs, potentially straining professional relationships and leading to costly disputes.
We protect you when
- You’re required to add an event organizer to your policy in order to conduct a workshop at an event
- A school or university requires you to add them as an additional insured to work on campus
Best for
- Visiting schools, colleges, or educational centers
- Off-site seminars/conferences
- Consultants who lease office space
- Client home visits
Add-Ons
Cyber Liability Coverage
Your clients entrust you with overseeing sensitive data and resources. This often involves storing and protecting information digitally, making you vulnerable to cyber threats. Cyber liability insurance is essential for recovering from data breaches and cyberattacks, including the cost of recovery expenses, client notifications, and more.
We protect you when
- A ransomware attack encrypts your client billing records, demanding payment for access
- A hacker steals your data and exposes sensitive client information
- Malware corrupts your firm’s systems, corrupting financial data and key files
Best for
- Data breaches involving personal, financial, or academic information
- Cyberattacks disrupting daily operations
- Ransomware incidents
Theft of sensitive school or client data
Fidelity Bonds
Fidelity bonds offer financial compensation in cases where an employee steals from a client. If your employee engages in criminal acts against a client — such as theft, embezzlement, or forgery — you could face liability, leading to considerable financial losses. Clients might even require your business to have this coverage before hiring you.
We protect you when
- You authorize a team member to process a client’s electronic funds transfer, and they divert the money into their own account
- You send an employee to improve a client’s inventory system, and they steal valuable equipment like laptops or tablets.
Best for
- Contracts requiring a bond
- Businesses seeking to establish trust with their clients
Tools and Equipment Coverage
Tools and equipment insurance (sometimes called Inland Marine or Business Personal Property) is crucial to protect the essential gear education consultants rely on daily. This includes your laptop, educational software, projectors, and other tech-driven teaching aids you use to manage educational content and conduct analyses.
Imagine if your laptop, packed with sensitive student data, got stolen. Not only would replacing it be costly, but the disruption to your work could be significant! This coverage frees you from worrying about hefty costs or the potential chaos that could follow.
We protect you when
- Your work laptop is lost or stolen during a workshop
- A fire breaks out in your office, damaging essential documents
- A projector or other key equipment is damaged transporting it to a client site
Best for
- Protecting educational materials and tools
- Protecting your important business equipment
