Independent consultants
Aspect has developed a number of enhanced services for members working in the independent consultancy field including:
- highly competitive professional indemnity, public liability and employer's liability insurance cover in conjunction with LFC Graybrook Limited
- a quality assurance framework for all independent education and children's services consultants. The framework has been publicly recognised by the Department for Education and Skills, the leading education provider companies, and the National Association of Head Teachers.
Professional indemnity cover
This scheme is open to all employed and self-employed Aspect members and to partnerships of limited companies, and can be used to insure against claims arising from negligence, errors or omissions in connection with their work as inspectors, advisers and consultants or other professional services recognised as being within the scope of practice by the Association.
