New Insurance Cover for our Members

As a member of the Scottish Artists' Union, you receive FREE insurance cover provided by Hencilla Canworth. This is one of the many benefits you receve from being a union member.

From 20th April 2018, all union members benefit from not only Product and Public Liability cover, but also Professional Indemnity cover.

This is to confirm that we act as insurance intermediary for the above named and have arranged Public and Products Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance for all members that are domiciled within the United Kingdom, The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

Please note: 

Members' Liability cover applies to any claims arising from work done from the later date of 21^st April 2018 or the commencement date of continuous membership of the Scottish Artists Union.

Professional Indemnity cover is on a claims made basis (different from Public Liability that is on a claims occurring basis) so this means that cover has to be in the force when the claim is formally made. This means that members will need to maintain continuous cover (membership) to ensure that their cover remains valid. Any break in membership would have the effect of re-setting the retroactive date of the cover and render all previous work uninsured.
