Sport National Governing Bodies National Governing Bodies (NGB) of various sports may offer some level of insurance as part of an affiliation fee. This affiliation fee may have to be paid individually by the Group members (eg. BSAC for SCUBA diving) or by the Group as a whole (eg. the RFU for Rugby Union). If any fees are payable by the Group as a whole it is very important that fees are paid on time as insurance may lapse. Any insurance afforded by National Governing Body membership will be specific to each sport so it is important that the details are researched when paying the fees. For most sports this insurance is an added bonus, for some sports it is essential that members have this insurance in place before they participate, a particular example being Rugby. External Instructors Any person who is not a Club, Society or Project member and who is offering their services as an instructor (even if it is for free) is not covered by any of the Union policies. It is vital that before engaging the services of an instructor it is clarified whether they have insurance, particularly liability insurance. Generally this will be provided by membership of their respective National Governing Body.
Other Imperial College Union also operates various other insurance policies. Examples include cover for boats, gliders and antique vehicles for which the respective Club, Society or Project is aware. If your Group has an insurance query or is doing something which does not fall into any of the categories above then please contact the Membership Services Manager.
