What insurance does a DofE group need?
As with any outdoor adventure, Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) expeditions involve risks that need to be carefully considered. While thorough planning and safety measures help minimise these risks, having the right insurance in place provides valuable protection should something go wrong.
Insurance requirements vary depending on whether you are taking part in an expedition or organising and supervising one. Understanding the different types of cover available is essential to ensuring that participants, group leaders and organisers are appropriately protected.
The DofE provides minimal Personal Accident cover to participants and leaders, but if you need more advanced DofE insurance, Mann Broadbent can help.
Whether you need travel insurance for your Gold expedition or are a group leader or instructor for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and need liability and equipment cover, talk to us and see how we can help.
Mann Broadbent has been providing insurance to the leisure sector since 1961 and is a member of the Outdoor Industries Association. We regularly help individuals, groups and organisations involved with D of E to obtain the insurance they need for their training or expeditions.
