Are you insured?
As a member of the British Association of Babywearing Instructors it meant I was eligible to apply for their group insurance. I now have full public and professionally liability insurance and this covers both the sling library, our stock and my consultancy.
Do I have to pay extra to hire a sling if I come for a private consultation?
No, your consultation fee includes the £5 hire fee of the sling. The only additional cost is the refundable deposit but this applies to sling library users too. It is fully refundable on the safe return of the sling in a condition which means it can be re-hired. In the 18 months the library has been running I have never had to keep a deposit yet.
Who did you train with?
I trained with Trageschule UK. They are part of Trageschule Dresden which was founded in 1998 and has been offering consultancy courses in Europe since. They offer a continual training up to certification level. A copy of my foundation certificate can be viewed upon request.
