Taking arthropods to a UK school?? Licence? Insurance?

[rosscleland]

Hi all. Does anybody know if a special licence or insurance is required to bring arthropods into a primary school for a viewing and handling session? Thanks

I would first contact the school for any required procedures, to be sure.

Thanks, yeah I'm struggling to find online info so I'll ask the school about it

Maybe just ask the school and teacher, and sign something that excludes anyone of responsibilities with the T, thats the only risk

You will need some level of public liability insurance to cover the school children/ teachers against any possible injuries.

Get insurance and not bring something like an obt. I think you need permission from the people holding the animals or in the area you are in. Not really sure about all the things required in UK though.
