The Association has implemented two mandatory insurance schemes in order to ensure that those who participate in the game can do so in the knowledge that any risk to themselves, either by injury or liability has been minimised, at least as far as the financial aspect is concerned.
This has two major benefits: firstly, the Association will have addressed its duty of care responsibilities to participants in the game, and, secondly, the scale of cover ensures the most beneficial rates are obtained.
Public Liability Insurance
Covers risks where a participant in the game may incur a liability as a result of an accidental occurrence when a degree of negligence is involved. The cover includes ‘Member to Member’ or ‘Player to Player’.
Premiums are collected as part of the affiliation process with the Association making a contribution towards the premium.
Personal Accident Insurance
Provides both capital and weekly benefit cover following occurrence of an injury. Weekly benefits become payable after 14 days of incapacity.
A premium deposit is collected as part of the affiliation process with the balance collected directly from the club by the insurer.
Details of the insurance cover can be found in the County Handbook, or from the County Office by e-mailing richard.king@norfolkfa.com or calling 01603 704050.
Details of cover or a request for a claim form can be made to Sportsguard at adminbureau@btconnect.com or on 01604 644277.
