What it covers

Management liability protects your leadership and operations

Management liability insurance shields childcare centre directors, owners, and staff from financial and legal risks that arise from employment disputes, regulatory investigations, and management decisions. It covers allegations of misconduct, wrongful termination claims, and costs associated with defending your centre against regulatory compliance breaches. Unlike general liability, this cover specifically protects your people and governance—not just accidents or injuries.
