Trent University provides field placement students with Workplace Accident Insurance and Errors and Omissions Insurance. Placement agencies are not required to provide this coverage for students.
If you have questions about these insurance policies or would like to request proof of coverage, please contact the Field Education Coordinators (FECs).
Workplace Accident Insurance
Students are covered by workplace accident insurance through either the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) or ACE-INA Insurance, depending on the insurance status of the placement agency:
- Students are covered by WSIB if the placement agency participates in WSIB.
- Students are covered by ACE-INA Insurance if the placement agency does not have WSIB coverage.
Errors and Omissions Insurance
All field placement students are provided with Errors and Omissions Insurance through Trent University. This coverage provides professional liability insurance in the event of serious errors or omissions made in the course of placement-related work.
