They were able to provide cover for what we needed & unlike our previous insurer we did not need to buy a policy that covered several aspects we did not need. I would recommend them.

…it was critical that we had the right cover. Despite the lead time that was available to get the quote in, reviewed and agreed Access Insurance met this challenge head on.

Other considerations:

  • You owe your volunteers a duty of care under health and safety laws
  • Charities can be, and are, sued where a volunteer is injured because of your negligence
  • In the absence of charity employers liability insurance the cost of the claim may need to be met by the organisation, its trustees or committee members.

Your questions answered.

Having employer’s liability insurance is compulsory by law if you have paid staff with a minimum level of £5m cover. Although it is not mandatory for volunteers, charities still face liabilities for sickness and harm caused to volunteers. Many charities, therefore, choose to transfer this risk through insurance. We can help you get protected against the risks you and your volunteers face.

Yes, though you are only obligated by law to do so if you have staff or employees on payroll and must cover to a level of £5m for sickness and injury caused to employees while undertaking duties.

This policy will cover legal expenses and settle claims against an organisation by an employee for work-related injuries or damage.

Volunteers don’t usually have a contract, so a volunteer’s rights will not be the same as employees. However, as the Charity Commission advises. Charities have a responsibility to ensure adequate training and controls are put in place to protect volunteers from risks.
