Criminal Defence Costs

Criminal Prosecution Defence Cover

Peace of mind, so you can get on with the day job

An exclusive scheme designed for both employed and self-employed physiotherapists, paramedics and other medical professionals including sports massage practitioners, fitness instructors, and educational consultants where unfounded allegations of inappropriate or criminal behaviour can have devastating consequences on their personal lives and careers.

If this cover is already provided as a benefit of your membership of any organisation (such as a Society, Association, Trade Union, or Clinical Interest Group) then please check with them before applying for this insurance.

The policy includes a 24/7 legal helpline as standard with a choice of either £100,000 or £250,000 to cover legal defence costs where there is a reasonable chance of acquittal or reducing the sentence or penalty.
