Jog Leader Membership

Public Liability Insurance cover and Jog Leaders Membership

Public liability insurance is an imperative aspect of leading any physical activity programme.  

jogscotland has public liability cover for those leaders that need it. Whether your Jog Leader membership includes public liability cover depends on the setting in which you take your group(s) and your employment status:

1. If you get paid by your employer to lead jogscotland groups (e.g. local authority, private gym or health club staff) then your employers public liability should cover you (check details of cover with your employer).
2. If you lead jogscotland groups on a voluntary basis in either a community or a workplace setting then jogscotland will provide public liability cover for you. You need to inform us of this for cover to be valid. 
3. If you lead jogscotland groups or individuals on a freelance basis insurance is provided as long as you confirm that you are still an active Jog Leader when membership records are reviewed and updated
4. All leaders will have to renew their membership on an annual basis, stating which category of group(s) they are leading and in which capacity (e.g. paid staff, voluntary or freelance)
