Why do ICG members need insurance?
As a Coach, you play a vital role in helping people to achieve their full potential and work towards their life goals. However, it’s also important that you protect your business with appropriate insurance, through a broker that understands the risks your sector faces as well. Just as your service helps your clients through their challenging times, having adequate insurance in place will help you and your business weather rough times if you find yourself with a messy allegation of negligence and the resulting financial strain.
Aon is the approved insurance broker for the International Coach Guild (ICG) members. As sector experts, we have worked with industry bodies such as ICG to listen to the needs of coaches and negotiated with insurers to develop to cover that is easy to understand.

Here are answers to some commonly asked questions by ICG Members.
What level of complimentary legal advice do I receive?
A total of 2 hours of complimentary legal advice is offered if you hold the Aon Health Combined Professional Indemnity, Public & Products Liability Policy. You can call the Legal Helpline up to a total of 2 hours in each policy year, per policy, for general legal advice relating to your practice. Legal advice relating to your policy is not included.2
The Legal Helpline is entirely confidential, and you'll be supported by a network of lawyers who work independently of Aon. This conversation will not impact the future cost of your insurance premium.
Why should Coaches consider Public & Products Liability insurance?
You know there are things in life that are out of our control, like accidents. There could be a loose nail, and someone could snag themselves on it, setting into motion any number of events that could lead you to being sued. You could be held liable if someone is injured or their property is damaged on your premises or because of your business dealings.
Public & Products Liability insurance provides cover for legal liabilities if a member of the public makes a claim that they were injured, or damage was caused to their property because of your business dealings or on your premises2.
Am I covered if I conduct home visits with clients?
If you conduct home visits to provide your service, the Aon Health Combined Professional Indemnity, Public & Products Liability Policy will extend to those visits.2 However, this may not be the case for all policies, so we recommend contacting your broker to confirm your coverage.
Why might I need run-off cover?
Even after you've retired or are no longer practising, you could still be subject to claims from the time you were in business. Under the Combined Professional Indemnity, Public & Products Liability Policy arranged through Aon, run-off cover allows you to arrange complimentary run-off cover for a period of up to 7 years in relation to incidents that happened while you were practising.2
