Committee Members Liability Insurance For Sports & Clubs

Committee Members Liability Insurance (also known as Directors & Officers or D&O Insurance) is designed to protect trustees, committee members and others in management positions should they be claimed against as individuals or if allegations are made against them personally.

Some of the threats that committee members may be exposed to are:

• Alleged breach of statutory duty – e.g. health & safety
• Alleged breach of trust
• Alleged breach of duty of care
• Alleged libel or slander
• Alleged discrimination or harassment

You can probably imagine how easy it would be to fall foul of an allegation, even for something you are ignorant of or not involved in just because you are part of the management of a club, team or other organisation. Without insurance in place you could be personally responsible for paying for your own legal defence.

Before you volunteer to take a position within your club, or if you are already in a management position you should seriously consider our personal liability and the consequences of not having the correct protection in place.
