Why do I need insurance to practice?

If you are looking to practice as a Nutritionist, we would strongly recommend getting appropriate insurance to cover your services. This is due to the large increase in claims being made against health and fitness professionals providing advice and services to individuals and businesses.

Essentially, if you are accused of failing to deliver on your services or you are alleged to have cause harm or financial loss to a client due to an error or omission in your services, you can be sued.
The insurance would then stop you having to bear the full cost of a civil lawsuit.
