EKRFC Insurance Scheme
EKRFC – Rugby Accident Insurance Scheme
EKRFC, with Scottish Rugby’s financial assistance, has a player insurance policy for all our players, coaches, managers, club officials, physiotherapist, doctor, ball boys/girls, including minis, midis and senior players when participating in rugby (playing, coaching or training) as part of an insured team. This includes travelling to/from matches and attending meetings on club business.
The details of the policy, and sums covered under the policy, are set out in a leaflet which you can download at the bottom of this notice.
Age limits are:
• 4-18 (mini/midi and U18);
• Playing members 16-55;
• Non-playing members 7-75.
Under the policy, no cover is provided for temporary loss of earnings arising from a rugby related injury.
The Club has chosen, in line with our normal practice, NOT to take out the optional Temporary Total Disablement Insurance available under Scottish Rugby. This means that any player, coach, manager, club official, physiotherapist, doctor, ball boy/girl who feels they need some form of additional cover must take this out personally.
Murrayfield Centenary Fund - For anyone unable to work, and with no income due to a rugby related income, we may be able get some financial support from the Murrayfield Centenary Fund. The Fund recently (2008) provided £1,000 support for one of our players with a longstanding injury and no job BUT each application is treated on its merits, against other claims.
The Fund is a charity and is always on the lookout for additional contributions so if anyone wishes to make a donation, they would be very grateful! You can download a leaflet about the fund at the bottom of this notice. The EKRFC Committee has agreed to make regular contributions to the Fund each year, and the Treasurer is about to make the first 2011-12 payment.
In the event of any claims against you for a rugby related incident, there is no provision for legal expenses but you may have this cover through your home or car insurance or through your employer or trade union.
Action required - If anyone needs to claim, or thinks they may be eligible, under the EK policy please let me know as soon as possible.
Serious Injuries? - The Club is required to notify the Scottish Rugby – via a serious injury report form, which you can download at the bottom of this notice – if any player as a result of a rugby injury:
• attends hospital and/or is required to attend a follow up;
• is admitted to hospital and/or stays overnight;
• in the event of a fatality.
The serious injury form is also available documents' sections of our website and on the Scottish Rugby website.
Happy to answer any queries anyone may have.
