Please note: This is a Combined Liability insurance policy, it is not a Personal Accident 'no fault' compensation policy.
Cover can be extended, at no cost, to include an indemnity to protect the club in respect of legal liability for damages and legal costs arising out of death or injury caused to employees in the course of their employment. This inlcudes the club's liablity to volunteers who are doing work on behalf of the club.
Should you require Employers Liability, we can provide this without additional premium. The limit of indemnity per incident will be £10 million with the exception of terrorism which will be limited to £5 million per period.
If you wish to apply for Employers Liability cover, please complete and return the application form.
