The UK Athletics policy provides Public Liability insurance cover to affiliated organisations, clubs, club officials, athletes, officials and coaches. 

 

The annual renewal of this insurance has recently taken place and UK Athletics are pleased to announce that significant improvements have been made to the benefits offered by the policy.  These are:

 

  • Public Liability cover increased to £20 million
  • Excess chargeable on claims made for third party property damage reduced from £750 to £250
  • Coaches holding a current pass and licence do not have to be working on behalf of an affiliated organisation
  • Fitness in Running & Walking and Jog Leaders now covered.

 

Additional policies, available for purchase by clubs, now offer:

 

  • Club Officers Liability
  • Travel cover
  • A 20% reduction in Personal Accident policy costs
