Recommendation 49
49
Ensure comprehensive and affordable insurance covers aid workers' legal, medical, and psychological support.
Conclusion
The FCDO needs to make sure that insurance provided to aid workers by their employers covers legal advice and longer-term medical, including physiological support. The FCDO should work with insurance providers and delivery partners to ensure that appropriate and affordable packages of insurance are provided—including for local staff and volunteers, where possible. (Recommendation, Paragraph 96)
