WHATS THE RECOMMENDED HEALTH AND INSURANCES PROCEDURES FOR AU PAIRS?
We recommend au pairs to consider an annual insurance policy. In many cases healthcare in Britain is free but the policy should be there to protect them (and you) for costly emergencies, such as repatriation and legal assistance. In addition to this, some insurance companies can include an au pair on your home insurance policy. Check for individual benefits of your policy. Please register your au pair with your family doctor. A European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles the au pairs who are from an EEA country to reduced-cost, sometimes free, medical treatment. The card is free but must be obtained by the au pair before travel.
