Insurance

Please do a risk assessment of your activities and check if you need first aiders present. If your event is open to the public (not just family and friends), it’s important to have public liability insurance as The Carers' Centre will not accept liability for anything that happens to people as a result of your event.

That’s not as scary as it sounds as the venue you use might already have this, and so might your home insurance if you’re holding it at home.

You’ll also need any caterers to have their own insurance as well as a food hygiene certificate. If you’re providing food yourself, the Food Standards Agency provides great advice on preparing, handing and cooking food.
