Frequently asked questions

Legal liability insurance is arranged by this County FA as a group policy which allows you to purchase the cover at a cost effective premium, whilst also benefiting from a wide cover designed for grassroots football.

  • This cover is purchased when you affiliate to this County FA and the premium is collected together with your affiliation fees. (this includes affiliation via The FAs Whole Game System where applicable).
  • Once the premium has been received, and your affiliation has been accepted, you will be sent an 'Evidence of Cover' from your County FA.

The NGIS policy provides cover in the event of an injury to players, committee members, managers, trainers and officials.

  • Cover is operative whilst at any ground or premises worldwide where there is an agreed fixture or training and includes travelling directly to and from such activities.
