Therapist’s first aid and insurance are the therapists’ own responsibility. The IRI is not responsible for keeping these up-to-date. One of the requirements for membership is current insurance and first aid at the time of renewal. IRI does not monitor whether therapist’s maintain either during the course of the year.
