Isnt this part of the competition affiliation process between the competition and the relevant county FA?

That's my recollection of how it works.

Hi Mick - do you mean the ‘sanctioning’ process that we go through with our local county FA?

I assumed likewise but now having doubts/concerns…

The clubs and teams all have their own public liability and personal accident insurance but what is the situation for members of a committee that actually run the league?

I have tried to look but cant find the answer, but like you I always felt that the sanctioning process gave some cover to the league committee with regards to public liability. The Bluefin policy document I have an old copy of talks about club/league cover so clearly designed for both purposes, but like you I am now unclear whether you automatically get the liability cover through the sanctioning process or have to purchase it seperately.
