As an employer you have a legal duty to take out employer's liability insurance, but you should also consider nanny public liability insurance, legal expenses insurance and motor insurance too. Employer's Liability InsuranceAs you act in the capacity of employer, you have a duty to take out Employers Liability Insurance and provide a safe workplace for your employee. Should they have an accident in your home whilst working, there may be a claim brought by them for reimbursement of costs and compensation. Employers Liability would pay for the damages awarded and associated costs. Should this insurance not be in force, the employee could pursue a claim against you, holding you responsible for the accident. This could result in you paying substantial amounts from your own wealth and may affect the relationship you have with them. The most convenient way to obtain this cover would be to speak with your household insurers. Their policy may automatically include this cover or they may be able to extend it at your request. Introducing Enable Legal Expenses Insurance Legal expenses insurance is our new policy written specifically for employers, providing expert guidance and financial protection should your employee unexpectedly make a claim against you. With UK employment tribunals rapidly on the rise and employment legislation getting increasingly complicated, legal expenses insurance is fast becoming a compelling option.

Motor Insurance Domestic employees, especially nannies, often have access to the family vehicle whilst undertaking their duties, therefore it is worth ensuring you have the correct motor insurance in place. Most domestic insurance policies cover you, and named drivers, for social, domestic and pleasure purposes only. It would be prudent to find out whether your motor insurer includes nanny activities within this definition.
