Community & event liability

Discuss worship services, volunteers, venue rentals, and off-site activities.

02

Buildings & contents

Review replacement values, heritage features, equipment, and interruption risks.

03

Safeguarding & governance

Ask explicitly about abuse exclusions, safeguarding conditions, and board liability.

An illustrative situation

More than a Sunday service.

A church rents its hall to another organisation while volunteers run a youth programme. Different activities bring different contractual and safeguarding questions.

Before you decide

Good questions.
Worth asking.

Are all volunteers insured automatically?

Ask how the policy defines insured persons and accepted activities. Describe volunteer duties, off-site work and transport rather than relying on volunteer status alone.

Does general liability settle abuse-related protection?

No assumption should be made. Ask specifically about allegations, exclusions, insured people, defence costs and required safeguarding procedures.

Should community hall rentals be declared?

Yes. Explain users, activities and agreements and ask how the organisation’s policy relates to the hirer’s own protection.
