Insurance

The Insurance Officer can be contacted on Extn: 8546 and he can advise on all aspects of insurance cover.

Insurance is a complicated subject and your enquiry may need to be referred to our brokers, who in turn may need to consult with the insurers themselves, so please ask in plenty of time. Always refer to the Insurance Officer anything you are asked to sign which appears to transfer risk to the university or has the university indemnifying someone else.

Since these innocent-sounding documents could cost the university millions of pounds, they have to be signed by a senior member of staff in the Finance Office. Never be tempted to do so yourself.
