Why wouldn't you? Well over a grand's worth of effective and practical cover and benefits for around £250, I see it as a no brainer. YMMV of course.Blog? What blog...? -
IPSE is like any other insurance, you probably begrudgingly pay for it when you don't need it, but when you need it you better have itOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.Comment

If you don't renew they won't cover you for investigations into your previous contracts even though you thought you'd paid at the time to have them covered.
Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

If you see it as an insurance provider then by all accounts you will struggle to get the same cover at a better price.
If you want to be represented by a campaign organisation then you should take a long hard look at what IPSE claims to be interested in (hint IR35 is dead in their eyes) and make up your own mind.Comment

The benefits package alone that IPSE+ gives you would cost you more elsewhere than if you join - illness cover, agency default cover, role not as advertised cover, jury duty cover, business interruption cover.
Whether you like it or not, IPSE is the only organisation that is speaking for contractors - and if you don't like the message that they are sending, the only way you are ever going to influence that is by being a member and letting the board know that you aren't happy.
And the simplest way to do that is to vote in the CC elections for the contractors that you think are closest to what you want the organisation to take - so far I have a list of five candidates (myself included, obviously ) that I'll be voting for when voting opens tomorrow morning, because I think they would be valuable additions to the CC.Comment

Is there anyone else you know standing and utterly deserving of your vote?Comment

No brainer IMHO. Oh and make sure you vote for MS and Faq plus anyone else with a candidate statement that you feel represents you.Comment
