Endorsements

These are amendments which tailor the standard wording to reflect the risks of most community groups and most give a wider scope of operation to the base Public & Products Liability policy.

Although certain risks are excluded in one policy it does not mean they can’t be covered either by an amendment which may result in a higher premium or an additional policy that is specific to cover that particular risk. Below are the endorsements applying to our Community & Family Event Public & Products Liability policy.
