A trustee of a charity has a very important role trying to manage all areas of regulation and law. If a mistake is made due to a breach of trust, breach of duty or negligence, then a trustee can be held personally liable. Trustees Indemnity Insurance will give you a degree of reassurance and will protect the individual trustees rather than the charity itself. For that reason, Trustees Indemnity Insurance is regarded as a form of personal benefit to a trustee of a charity. Please note that Trustees Indemnity Insurance is on a claims made basis, meaning that the insurance only responds to claims first made and notified to the insurer during the period of insurance stated on the policy schedule.
If your charity employs staff, then by law you are required to have Employers’ Liability Insurance that covers all employees for a minimum of £5 million, for injury or disease contracted while carrying out their duties. You must display your Employers’ Liability Insurance certificate clearly, to show that your policy is valid.
If you own or use motor vehicles then these must be insured to include cover against third party injury and property damage, in compliance with the Road Traffic Acts. You must make sure that if employees, trustees or volunteers are using their own vehicles, that they hold sufficient insurance policies. If you own or use a minibus and it is used on a hire or reward basis, there are some special insurance requirements.
It’s always best for charities to treat any volunteers exactly the same as employees when it comes to insurance and make sure that they are covered by your Employers’ Liability or Public Liability insurance.
For events such as fetes, shows and galas, we highly recommend that you have Public Liability Insurance – this may be mandatory for certain venues and they may require you to have a specific minimum level of cover.
You may need to add what is called “treatment risks” to your policy. In addition you also may want to consider Professional Indemnity cover in case anyone sues you for breach of professional duty.
