Insurance and indemnity

These are required for clinical trials and research where there are risks of serious harm to research subjects.

Participants should be covered by an insurance plan that will provide adequate compensation should they experience any harm due to participation in research.

Example of a clinical trial insurance policy

Researchers should also obtain indemnity covers to protect themselves against claims or legal actions from research subjects. Researchers who conduct sponsored trials should be indemnified by their sponsors. ⁽⁴⁾
