All REPs members above student level (old level 1) have to have comprehensive civil liability insurance as a condition of membership.

Ideally this should cover Public Liability, Professional Indemnity, Product Liability, Libel and Slander and Directors’ and Officers’ Liability with a minimum cover of £2m.

As part of its commitment to members, the Register offers a competitive policy that covers all areas required as well as offering access to a free legal and advice line. Premiums have remained unchanged for the past four years - £2,000,000 cover is £46 a year and £5,000,000 for an annual fee of £66.

The Register also offers a higher level of cover for those members (at levels 3 and 4) who practice sports tissue and soft tissue massage as part of their client training, for a slightly increased premium.
