Liability

The University has in place employers' and public liability insurance.

The public liability policy covers the University's legal liability for injury or damage to third parties or third party property. This includes:

  • Visitors to the University
  • Students and staff engaged on field-work outwith the University, including overseas, but refer to the travel section for further guidance

The University's liability insurance extends to cover work placements within the University.

For student work placements outwith the University, the placement provider will be required to have in place adequate employers' and public liability insurance prior to the commencement of a work placement.
