What steps can be taken to ensure compliance with the policy terms and conditions with regard to notification of a claim?
It is important that all people in our organisation are sufficiently aware that there may be liabilities attaching to them personally or to your organisation arising from the activities and services you provide.
Please note that for Professional Services ‘Employee’ means any person applying for employment, is or was employed under a contract of service, apprenticeship or clerkship with the Policyholder; and includes ministers, presbyters, deacons, lay persons, officers, restorative justice contractors and volunteers of the Policyholder.
For the best results and support in the event a claim does arise it is important that the matter is identified early and advice is sought as to how to best handle and minimise the risk. As such we suggest regular checks throughout the year to ascertain if there are any matters that require attention to prevent them from potentially escalating at a future date.
