  <body>I was wandering if anyone had links to either companies, or articles that covered insurance for freelancers while working - specifically for UK residents/UK based people.

e.g. working on your own while travelling and working for someone else in some of the weird and wonderful places you folks seems to get to.

I realise there are so many caveats on insurance - e.g.  do you want war cover, limits etc.

I'd also like some info on what type of insurance folks on here use.  Do you just chance it with standard travel insurance or what (which is no doubt a bit dodgy if you are actually working at the time).

I've had a look through previous posts but some have been US centric, or have mentioned places like Reporters Without Borders where you need a press card, or have been about medical insurance so please forgive the topic coming up again.  I'm just looking to find out a bit more, but I realise I've not been too specific.

Also, if you have different assignments (don't laugh at this next bit) in some wacky places (say Afghanistan, Liberia say) do you take out specific policies for each trip say if they are on FCO advisories and 'normal' companies don't cover them?

Cheers
