Running for cover - 2005 - QS Week (9) 22 June 2005, 10-11(2) .

Discusses the benefits of self-insurance over professional indemnity for cheaper premiums. Mentions that some QSs are now considering following certain architect firms who set up a closed assurance system after a period of high premiums 30 years ago. The RIBA Insurance Agency was set up for this purpose and now covers a third of RIBA registered practices and it is aimed at firms with an annual income under £35 000.
