Bringing learning to life: Why educational animal talks need the right insurance.
At Cliverton, we know that sharing knowledge about animals is a unique and powerful way to educate and inspire. Whether you own a friendly family pet or a more unusual creature like a non-venomous snake, your experience and passion can create unforgettable learning moments. That’s why we source Public Liability cover for Educational Talks Businesses - to support you in sharing your animals safely and confidently.
The importance of insurance for animal educators
Even the best-trained animals can be unpredictable. Whether you’re visiting a school with your furry friend or hosting a group at your farm, having Public Liability insurance takes away the stress of “what if” and allows you to focus on providing a fun and safe experience.
What does the policy cover?
The cover has been designed with flexibility in mind to cover a wide range of activities and settings to support your animal-based business.
Offsite educational visits
You’ll be covered when you take your animals to schools, care homes, scout groups, community events, and fetes. These visits can be incredibly rewarding, whether you're helping children learn or bringing joy to residents in care homes.
Hosting visits at your location
If you prefer to have people come to you - especially helpful for those with farm animals or larger collections – it will also cover visits to your premises.
Public animal handling
We source cover for situations where animals are handled by the public, including children. This is ideal if your sessions include hands-on experiences with insects, reptiles, or small mammals.
Children’s parties and face painting
Thinking of offering educational entertainment at children’s parties? You’re covered for both animal interactions and face painting under this policy.
Please note: Pony parties are not included in this policy, but we do have a separate equine insurance option specifically for them.
Alpaca and Llama Walks
Alpaca trekking is a growing trend in the UK. If you run or are thinking of running alpaca or llama walks, the public liability policy covers those experiences too.
Environmental education activities
If your work includes environmental education, we can also source cover for activities such as coppicing, conservation projects, woodland walks, and environmental studies. These are perfect for nature-based learning sessions and eco-tourism.
What types of animals are covered?
Educational talks insurance includes cover for:
24/7 Animal escape cover
We understand that accidents happen. That’s why cover includes 24/7 protection for animal escapes, so you're covered even if one of your animals decides to go on an unexpected adventure.
Legal requirements
In some cases, you may need an Entertainment Licence from your local council to operate legally. We recommend contacting them directly to ensure your business complies with all local regulations.
Policies for unique businesses
Every business is different, and we know that “one size fits all” doesn’t always work. That’s why we take time to understand your specific needs. If you’re not sure where your business fits, we’re happy to guide you.
Please note that this policy does not include cover for your individual animals or vets fees. This policy only covers your Public Liability risk as an animal-related business.
