Section 40: Indemnification

214.This section provides that the Secretary of State may indemnify support providers (that is, any person who provides support to an identified individual under a support plan) against any costs and expenses that the support provider reasonably incurs in performing his or her functions. This power is necessary because support providers find difficulty in obtaining appropriate insurance and because of this they are less likely to become, or continue to be, support providers.
