When the rules hit the PS in 2017 I know of a few that did this, suddenly they are not XX Agency but XX Group, under that sits XX Agency and XX Consultancy.
I imagine come April you will see this a lot more often.

Will the insurance policy cover all that?

Additionally, requiring the consultant to complete online assessments/questionaires for status determination. If that checks back as the consultant being outside, then an insurance policy is issued.
Is this all BS? I guess we'll only know when these measures are put to scrutiny.

Sounds a bit shifty to me TBH
Does the client know how is being placed and would they be upset if that person was swapped out?

As long as you are still doing work for the client then it doesn't matter how many people you put in the way. Client still has to do the SDS.
There are no hacks around at present, particularly ones that can be explained in one paragraph.
