Dear PDBKA
Circulation: Secretaries and Membership Secretaries of Area Associations & Branches
Having reviewed the insurance market in conjunction with insurance brokers, Aston Lark, BBKA has taken out an insurance policy with Aviva that includes public & product liability cover for BBKA members for the period 4th October 2021 – 3rd October 2022.
Sometimes, members need to produce a document to prove they have insurance cover. Aston Lark has checked with Aviva and they do not issue certificates for public & product liability. In fact most insurers don’t, they only issue certificates that are required by law. Instead, Aston Lark has provided a ‘To Whom It May Concern’ document for members to use.
The policy document received from Aviva contained a few minor errors which we have asked to be corrected and once the revised document is received we will make this available too.
In the past we have put insurance documents onto the BBKA website but this year all the insurance documents will be stored on the bbkanews.com website which has undergone some work to link it with the eR2 membership database which means that only active members of the BBKA can login to the site.
Please view the instructions on how to login to www.bbkanews.com by using this link : instructions
Would you please share this information with your members.
I am reviewing the ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ document with the broker and this will be available on the bbkanews.com website in the next few days. After this, I will write to you again to address the questions we have received from some associations regarding insurance cover for members of the public on taster days or training courses.
Kind regards
Leigh Sidaway
General Manager
