10:00 - 11:00 am

Webinar:

Safeguarding in sport is a complex issue and the risk faced by national associations and their clubs seems to be ever widening.

Insurance cover is available to help protect you against the financial cost of claims arising from safeguarding incidents, but it is often unclear how this cover operates and what your obligations are to ensure you can rely on insurers' support. In this session from our insurance broker partner, Howden, supported by legal firm Browne Jacobson, we will discuss:

  • How safeguarding insurance can protect your organisation
  • The types of allegations you could expect to face in the event of a claim
  • What information you should be disclosing to insurers
