Public Liability Insurance Obligations

The Society’s Public Liability Insurance covers members and the public attending WSWA organised events or WSWA rented, leased or occupied premises.

The standard Public Liability policy (premium paid by the Management Committee) covers:

• events and fundraising, where the daily attendance does not exceed 500 (note that this is the total for the entire event, not the number on the premises at any one time).
• Society-organised and supervised excursions limited to one day in duration and not requiring overnight stay.

Events where daily attendance is likely to exceed 500, and Society-organised excursions that go for more than one day  are not covered by default, but can be covered if the insurer is notified and may incur an additional premium to be paid for by the organiser; this should be taken into account by when budgeting.

Enquiries to the WSWA Office.
