    You'd think so wouldn't you?




    However in my experience this is usually not the case!

      So nothing in the way of insurance is required?

      I assumed the agency had some form of insurance in case the contractor really screwed up!

        Contractors going through agencies are still responsible for their own insurance.

        You don't really need anything by law, unless you've got employees. However, it's always a good idea to have things like Professional Indemnity and Public Liability - an indicator, albeit a minor one, of being in business on your own account.
