Your church insurance

When you take a policy out with us you will receive a number of key documents including:

• A Baptist church insurance policy booklet containing the terms and conditions of your policy.
• A policy schedule detailing dates and other information specific to your church.
• An employers’ liability certificate which can be displayed at your church or made available electronically.

There is a range of useful documents available from our risk management team which help ensure the safe and efficient running of your day-to-day activities.

Health and Safety policy
Trustees need to be aware of their Health and Safety responsibilities under the relevant legislation.

Fire risk assessments
All churches are obliged by regulation to make sure they have completed a fire risk assessment.

Safeguarding policy
Every church should adopt a safeguarding policy for children and vulnerable adults. It should be a concern for the whole church and reflect activities on and away-from church premises. It should be adopted by and reviewed annually.

Changes to your usual church activities might require adjustments to your insurance cover so you have the right level in place. Depending on the level of risk, we may also need to adjust your insurance premium.
