Combined Liability insurance

Public Liability and Professional Indemnity policy covers the cost of defending yourself against a claim for damages if you're held responsible for injury to someone else or damage to their property.

The cover is 'no fault' which means that they will receive the appropriate payment regardless of the cause of the accident.

FAQs for Coaches

You are covered to coach in any EHA affiliated club, competition or activity approved by the EHA.

If someone is injured or their property is damaged whilst you are coaching you should report the details to Howden and EHA as soon as possible. Click here for details.
