Insurance for coaches
It's important to note that:
- For cover to be operative you must hold a valid membership with either Triathlon England, Welsh Triathlon or Triathlon Scotland.
- You must hold the appropriate qualification to coach a particular activity. If you are not qualified, insurance cover will not be operative.
- A trainee coaching working under your direct supervision, is also insured, whilst working with you.
- You receive cover operating as an individual coach or Instructor (including those which are operating as a sole trader or limited company/entity capacity) working within the remit of a qualification recognised by the Insured subject to the income derived from the additional activity not exceeding £ 5,000 per annum in respect of Core Coaches or £ 35,000 per annum in respect of Ultimate Coaches.
- If you have any questions regarding the insurance you receive, please refer to the FAQ section below.
What cover is provided?
- £15,000,000 Public Liability - Accidental bodily injury to third parties and / or damage to third party property arising out of the insured activities.
- £5,000,000 Professional Indemnity - Cover for negligent acts, errors or omissions in respect of a professional opinion, including injury following tuition, advice, coaching or instruction, against claims made during the period of insurance.
- Personal Accident insurance - Refer to the Schedule to review the benefits. British Triathlon affiliated coaches also receive Personal Accident insurance via their membership. This is a ‘no fault’ benefit that provides a specified amount to you, if you are injured whilst training towards a triathlon or multisport goal, participating in a British Triathlon permitted event or coaching recognised British Triathlon activities. The membership level you hold with British Triathlon will determine the benefits you receive.
