Insurance is an essential responsibility for every club. It is very important to ensure that you have adequate cover to protect the activities that your club delivers.  If you have any concerns or queries, you should approach your National Governing Body, a Sports Development Officer employed by your Local Authority or your insurance company - visit Perkins Slade for more information.

Make volunteers aware of the type of insurance the club has in place and what this covers, including any restrictions. Ensure that volunteers understand and work within their task description and that the insurance company has details of all the volunteer roles. If you have volunteer drivers, confirm that their car insurance covers them when using their car for this purpose.  If volunteers are driving vehicles owned by the club, check that there is appropriate insurance cover and egularly update your insurance details, adding any changes.

More information can also be found on the new Running Sports website.  This is a new website, solely dedicated to volunteers in sport, providing skills and support.
