Whilst every effort will be made to ensure that the Olympics are conducted safely, accidents do happen. The Village Olympics Committee has given careful consideration to the question of insurance cover and the following arrangements have been made.

LEGAL LIABILITY

Public Liability Insurance has been arranged by organising committee - up to five million pounds on any one accident. This policy will indemnify the organisers against claims arising from accidents for which they are legally liable, that is where there has been negligence on the part of the organisers.

PERSONAL ACCIDENT

There are, of course, accidents where no-one is to blame. Whilst this is an area where we feel each must form its own view as to insurance, we have arranged the following basic cover for the benefit of all registered partici-pants taking part in organised events
and training sessions:
Death: £2,500
Total loss or total loss of use of arms or limbs £5,000
Total loss or total loss of use of one arm or limb £5,000
Total and permanent loss of:
a) all sight in one or both eyes £5,000
b) speech £5,000
c) or hearing £5,000

It is, of course, possible for you to purchase additional cover for your children, privately, by contacting your usual insurance advisor.
