LIABILITY INSURANCE "RC COACH"
The job of a professional coach requires protection against professional risks. During the practice of your profession, you can cause damage to a legal entity (company) or physical person (an individual).
These damages, even if they are infrequent, may occur and can be very important. It is therefore essential that you are covered by a liability insurance as a Professional Coach. Your coaching practice will therefore be accompanied by an appropriate cover.
Since 2009, EMCC has developed such coverage with a major insurance company, Ethias, through the DAP Group (Degauquier & Partners). This year, we have decided to put the spotlight back on it by renegotiating a deductible-free coverage for you at a preferential rate.
What is covered by the "RC COACH" liability insurance ?
This insurance will cover any damage you may cause to your clients, service providers, employees, competitors and even consumer or business associations.
Example of the source of damages in Professional Coaching
- Omission, forgetfulness, inaccuracy
- Error of law or fact or of appreciation
- Failure to advise, inform, warn or collaborate
Example of cases where this insurance could be used
- During your service as a Personal Development Coach, you do a job that includes faulty work and your client complains or asks for compensation => This is covered by your professional liability insurance "RC COACH"
- During your coaching service in a company, you may have failed in your duty of confidentiality or more precisely in the context of your coaching of a manager, you may have failed in your duty to provide advice and information in order to improve his level of performance, to end up with him resigning his job, thinking he might do better elsewhere; this could incite the company's legal action against you in view of the damage suffered.
The "RC COACH" (professional liability insurance for Professional Coaching), covers your services.
For the members of EMCC Belgium, it is moreover an obligation specified in the Code of Ethics that every member undertakes to respect. It is mentioned in article 3.12: "Members will have the appropriate professional indemnity insurance to cover their coaching, mentoring and supervising work for the countries in which they operate" (Global Code of Ethics, release 2.3)
