[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 1215751, member: 22428"] It's not just about being insured to drive other people's cars - it's also public liability insurance - honestly it's a mine field and you would be best to get some professional advice. I have a carer for my son - non agency employed direct and even though she is fully comp on her car I still had to take out extra insurance - not what your asking I know but like I say it's complicated. - does your agency insurance cover you for all eventualities? Whenever I have used agencies in the past one carer in the home is fine but if my son who has challenging behaviour needed a carer outside the home I either had to be with them or have 2 carers just incase they had behaviour to deal with. I agree with you that it could get difficult for you if you had a hypo - I say this from a good place but if you are worried about it I as a service user for my son would be worried about it also - not so if you felt confident you could deal with the situation though [/QUOTE]
