Childminder Insurance
Am I insured to work during the Coronavirus pandemic?
The Childcare.co.uk childminder insurance policy does not exclude injury claims arising from allegations of injury from infectious diseases if caused by accident, however if the act is deliberate then there is no policy cover. You must ensure that you follow guidelines and regulations set by the government, your regulator and public health departments.
