With over 50 years’ experience, we’ve sourced falconry insurance to various businesses across the UK, helping to keep your business soaring by protecting you, your assets and the general public.
This insurance policy is suitable for people and businesses who are looking to cover their liability to the public whilst providing falconry services, including flying displays. It is not suitable for people wishing to cover private pleasure flying of their birds or veterinary costs in relation to the birds.
There are two main types of insurance you need if you run a falconry and raptor displays business. Both are included in our insurance policy.
Public liability – designed to protect you against liability claims for injury caused to third parties or damage to their property as a result of your negligence. For instance, if a member of the audience is accidentally struck by a bird.
The standard limit is £5 million, but it can be extended to £10 million for an additional premium.
Products liability – This covers the business for the same amount as the selected Public Liability if injuries or damages arise as a result of a defective product that your business supplies.
Please note that this does not cover you for the sale of products, please contact us for more information about retail sales.
This policy will also cover businesses who offer a small amount of pest control services for an additional premium.
Employers’ liability – if you have paid, voluntary or self-employed helpers working for your business, you are legally required to have this insurance. This will provide cover should a helper get injured and you are deemed liable. The amount of cover provided is £10 million.
If you have or are thinking about having school age work experience, please contact us.
Personal accident – provides financial compensation if the insured party is unable to work due to an injury or illness, lasting for more than 7 days. If you already have a public liability policy through us, you can add this cover to your existing policy.
Please note that this does not cover any pre-existing conditions or illness.
Professional indemnity – protects your business should you offer professional advice for a fee. For example, advising on training techniques or behavioural issues and it results in either a physical or financial loss. The resultant claims can be covered up to a maximum of £500,000, however lower levels of cover (£100,000 and £250,000) are available at reduced premiums.
Please note, this section does not apply to online courses or banned dog breeds.
Equipment and property – cover for your organisation’s property and equipment. This can include handheld small items to larger pieces of furniture and machinery. We are also able to source cover for commercial premises, business interruption and theft of money.
Please contact us to request a proposal form for any equipment and property cover.

DWAA – Animals listed on the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976

I joined the Cliverton family 6 years ago and work in the Kennel and Cattery Team (which I love!) We all share the same passion here to help animals (and their owners!).
Outside work, life mainly revolves around the multitude of rescue animals that have shared our home over the years. Current residents include two naughty Jack Russells, a contented ex feral cat, a Houdini hamster, two chinchillas in their senior years, a budgie and two elusive pond fish. The door is always open! I also enjoy running to fundraise for various charities and have just begun open water swimming.
