Hi everyone,
As it's not very often I ask for advice, here goes: if I'm running workshops and seminars at/on other people's property - hotels, serviced office buildings, etc - would I still need to have public liability insurance in case something should happen to any of my delegates coming to my events? I would have thought yes (from my legal training!) but would like to make absolutely sure before I start rolling out any events....and obviously before I get sued!
With many thanks in advance, Caroline

Caroline,
If your running them on other people property check if they have the cover first. As if they have the cover you wont need it!!

Hello Caroline
If for example you run your seminar within a hotel the hotel is duty bound to ensure the envireoment is safe...however should you bring your own equipment and this causes an accident directly or indirectly then you would be held liable for "your part"in any accident.So to answer your question...yes you would be well advised to take insurance out.
Another point on the same subject...on your arrival to a hotel the hotel has a duty by law to show you its fire evacuation procedure and in turn you MUST by law explain this procedure to your delegates on their arrival.
Good luck and enjoy[
