Posted By Kieran J Duignan Philip As a (FORMER) school governor, I have given some thought to the dilemma you face. I came to view it in terms of dilemmas arising from contrasting social values. One social value is expressed in laws and regulations which oblige leaders of an organisation to control risks to the pupils, staff and other stakeholders. Another social value is expressed in the level of funding that all stakeholders provide to support the organisation supply goods and services. Where there is a gap between the level of available funding and the level of finance needed to safeguard pupils, staff and others, conducting a fire risk assessment is one option available to a governor with specialist understanding of safety management. Another is to offer a workshop for the governors, open to officers and councillors of the local authority, on management of safety of pupils and staff. Perhaps this is a choice open to you which it might be advisable for you to consider now rather than only in retrospect in the event of an actual claim on your PI policy?

Posted By Liesel Worth asking if the charity has PI cover. Some do- can get a good rate at a specialist insurer for cover for directors' indemnity which also covers officers of the charity on PI- a little railway I work with has such cover in place. Also some can be extented to all those volunteers of the charity for a very small increase- maybe worth asking about?
