INSURANCE POLICY FOR RINGING MEMBERS

All paid-up ringing members of the Association will be covered by a Group Personal Accident (GPA) scheme of insurance for risks as outlined below. Any claims arising through ringing activities should be processed through the General Secretary.

Cover includes death, disablement and loss of a limb or of sight, hearing or speech. Compensation for total disablement is £10,000 and for temporary disablement is £100 per week, after the first week and for a maximum of 104 weeks. Cover for those over 70 is one tenth of this.

Cover is whilst ringing, instructing, maintaining, inspecting or carrying out any work on the tower, bells, fittings and framework, excluding major restoration work, within the United Kingdom, including direct travel to or from these activities.

The GPA policy does not include third party damage. Public Liability insurance is provided by a separate policy..

Full details, terms and conditions of both policies are available from the General Secretary.
