Public Liability The University has Student Plan Personal Accident Insurance and Public Liability Insurance. Student Plan Personal Accident Insurance means that all currently enrolled UWA students are covered whilst engaging in campus activities.
The University also has Public Liability Insurance which covers its legal liability for negligence resulting in bodily injury to other persons or destruction of property arising out of the university business. The insurance covers all related companies and organisations of the University, but when having a show, either on or off campus, go to http://rm.uwa.edu.au/insurance and find out exactly what you are covered for.
Technically, both the Guild and the University have Public Liability, but they will not claim responsibility unless you have fully informed them of all details of your event. Here is a list of the extent of Public Liability when Guild Activities puts on a touring act.
- University + Guild
- Promoter (on behalf of the band)
- Fencing Co.
- Production Co. (ie PA)
- Lighting
- Staging
- Security
Public Liability is best provided with a Certificate of Currency. if you only remember one thing from this page, it's Certificate or currency. Write it down.
All insurance details have to be forwarded to the university before approval for the event is given. This is because anything can happen, and one will not cover the other ie. the fencing could fall, the stage could collapse, etc. This is just to show you how full on public liability should be for events to the general public.
Never approach the Council directly. Read up about events management and direct your plans and queries through Jonathon Zahra, the Activities Officer.
