Before you take on work

  • Public liability insurance
  • DBS check expected by most parents
  • A qualification covering exercise for older adults, which insurers require
  • Pre-exercise screening and GP clearance where there is a known condition
  • First aid cover at every session

Rules vary by council and by country. Check what applies where you are.
