Explanatory note

The Rules contained in the Schedule to this Order require all practising osteopaths to have in place indemnity arrangements to cover specified risks at a minimum level of cover for such risks, including the requirement to have run off cover in respect of claims made in relation to an osteopath’s practise, which are made after that osteopath ceases to practise. The Rules prescribe a minimum aggregate level of cover (£5 million); the risks which must be covered by the indemnity arrangements; and set out requirements for demonstrating compliance with the Rules to the Registrar of the General Council.
