Insurance
for BAMBA-Registered Teachers
Insurance Requirements
All BAMBA registered teachers are required to hold appropriate insurance cover for their mindfulness teaching, training, or supervision practice.
Insurance policies must clearly state that mindfulness teaching is covered. Teachers employed by an organisation may be covered under their employer’s insurance; in these cases, they will need to provide a letter from their employer confirming this. NHS employees are not required to provide proof of insurance; proof of their NHS email address will be sufficient
Teachers living and working outside the UK
Local Insurance should be obtained and demonstrated via a certificate of insurance for both Professional Indemnity and Public Liability and should evidence working in therapeutic settings with one-to-one clients, groups, clinical settings and organisations based on your chosen area of work. Where possible, always ask your insurer to list Mindfulness Teaching, Training and / or Supervision as required in your wording policy.
Insurance Essentials for Mindfulness Teachers
In this webinar, Balens introduce the key insurance considerations for mindfulness-based practitioners.
The session explores the types of cover typically included in practitioner policies, how insurance applies in practice, and the different forms of liability that help safeguard teachers, participants, and professional practice. Drawing on real-world examples and claims insights, the webinar also highlights ways to reduce risk and respond with confidence should issues arise.
