Arts and Crafts Event Insurance

Arts and Crafts Event Insurance

Arts and crafts events can be a lot of fun. Both children and adults can participate in the fun and games. This can include crafting models, drawing and painting, making sculptures and all sorts of other activities. Now you may not think there would be much risk in organising an event such as this, however, there are a few things you need to think about during the preparation stage. 

• Have you secured the right venue for the event and received written confirmation of the booking?
• Have you carried out a written risk assessment and put a formal health and safety policy in place to be adhered to in the event of an incident occurring?
• Do all of the stallholders/exhibitors have adequate insurance cover in place before attending the event?
• Are all of the staff members/volunteers helping out at the event aware of their duties? Are they made to comply with the formal written health and safety policy?

Within the above list, there are just a few examples of the type of things that you need to take in to consideration when organising an arts and crafts event. It may all seem pretty straight forward and down to common sense but you would be surprised how often you can overlook the smallest details. If you do not carry out the right checks during the preparation stage, you could find yourself in a bit of a precarious position. A position you wouldn’t necessarily want to be in, if an incident was to occur.
