is a legal requirement that you have insurance?

No, there is no legal requirement for an individual learner to hold personal insurance to enrol on or complete the Care Manager Diploma – Fast Track Level 5 Health and Social Care Management. The qualification itself is an educational credential, not a professional practice licence. However, once you step into a registered manager role, your employing organisation must hold adequate public liability and professional indemnity insurance. As a manager, you are responsible for ensuring these policies are active and cover all staff activities. You do not need to buy personal insurance to study, but you must understand insurance compliance as part of your future safeguarding and risk management duties. This knowledge is critical for CQC inspections.
