Safeguarding for School Visitors
School visitors interact with children in a very different way to our public events. It is crucial that all school visitors have thought through how their activities in school will safeguard the children they are working with.

Insurance
Most schools do not hold PLI so if you have been assuming that the school will cover you should there be an incident, you were wrong. The Society’s PLI will cover you provided
a. You are a paid up member of The Vikings
b. The event is pre-booked with us
c. You are DBS checked and registered with the Educational Activities Thegn, Marcus Davys, email: education[at]vikingsonline.org.uk
d. The visit is run according to the Constitution and H&S rules.
e. • If you do not have your own Public Liability Insurance and you received the referral through the society website you must use the society PLI and must pay 10% of the visit fee to the society or £30, whichever is the lesser amount.
• If you have your own PLI but recieved the referral through the society website you must pay 5% or £15, whichever is the lesser amount.
• If you have arranged the booking independantly without a referral from the society website, but you need to use the society PLI, as you don't have your own, you must pay 5% or £15, whichever is the lesser amount.
