Partnership arrangements

All partners should discuss and agree the responsibilities and insurance cover from the outset along with a joint risk assessment. 

Cover should be appropriate for the activities each partner is undertaking. Any gaps in cover could mean the claims are directed to the Council which could incur costs.
