Insurance

Make sure you have adequate insurance if:

  • your event involves taking people on a trip, for example from an inner-city to the seaside in a minibus (trip/travel/vehicle insurance)
  • you are inviting schoolchildren in to see your centre or providing work experience. You may need public liability insurance, but the local education authority will help you with this
  • you are uncertain about your own level of personal insurance and that of other volunteers

You can check out insurance through your local council: ask for the Education Department for schools or Social Services for Disabled/Elderly Care homes. Their staff are used to advising on this and will be pleased to help you.
