5.5. Insurance Cover
The Union advises those students who regularly participate in sporting activities to take out their own personal accident policy to cover the eventuality should they have an accident whilst taking part in activities. Especially those students who rely on an income from employment of a physical nature – the personal accident policy referred to above does not provide cover for loss of earnings.The Union also has a joint personal accident policy with the University. This covers students in the eventuality should they have an accident and incur serious injury whether negligence exists or not. It also provides £20 per week should the student miss university due to the injury.The Students’ Union has a public liability insurance policy which covers all Union activities. This protects students against injuries or damage to their property caused as a result of negligence by the Union.
