Insurance
Partner and Network Groups are covered under BCT's third party liability insurance. Download BCT's Certificate of Liability. Please note that your bat group must assess risks prior to an event, and ensure adequate measures are in place to reduce risks, to be eligible for cover. More information and guidance will be posted here soon, but please contact us with any queries in the mean time.
What is Third Party Liability insurance?
Third Party Liability (also called Public Liability) refers to claims by a third party against your group for injury or property damage caused by the bat group's negligence. Full details of BCT's third party liability insurance can be found in the Partner Agreement appendices.
Alternatives to the BCT cover
Unfortunately, BCT can only offer you third party liability insurance, as our resources do not permit more comprehensive cover at present. So, depending on the particular needs of your group, you may wish to consider other alternatives before opting into our policy. For example:
- BTCV offers combined third party liability insurance and personal accident cover, starting from £100. See their online shop for more details.
- If you haven't already, talk to your Local Wildlife Trust office to discuss options for cover under their insurance.
- Or if you'd like to discuss the individual needs of your bat group with BCT's insurance broker, please email Lisa Worledge at lworledge@bats.org.uk for more details.
