Employers Liability Insurance
The following Employers Liability Certificate will require updating annually. Therefore, you may find the enclosed certificate out of date.  In order to ensure that you have a certificate that is up to date visit the Employers' liability letter/certificate gateway page and print an up to date copy.
 
Public Liability Insurance
Public Liability Insurance is for legal liability, in order to pay claims in respect of injury to the public or damage to property not belonging to the BBC but caused in connection with the business, anywhere in the world. Cover limits are confidential but Insurance Services usually confirm cover of at least £15,000,000 on any one loss.
 
Cancellation certificates
Some Productions may need to take advice on Cancellation Insurance and Insurance relating to terrorist activity etc.
 
Forms and templates
When recording events, a copy of the formal letter confirming cover and the Insurance certificate should be produced. Please complete the details of the production on the Gateway site and print out a certificate specific to the production. This should be retained in your Event Safety File.
 
Certificate of Employers' Liability Insurance
It is a requirement under regulation 5 of the Employers' Liability (compulsory insurance), that an Employer's liability certificate is displayed at each place of business. 
 
A letter is also available to send to educational establishments with regards to work experience placements.
 
Public Liability Letter/Certificate
It is not unusual for location owners or local authorities to request evidence of the BBC's Public Liability cover.  Supporting documentation can be found on the Public Liability gateway page.
