Notes
One of the required areas on the Certificate of Insurance is the "Date(s) of Activity". Please note our insurer will not backdate Certificates of Insurance. For example, if the activity/placement has a start date of January 1st, and we do not receive the information until January 10th, the date on the certificate will read January 10th.
If research is involved, please specify who will own the research when the project is completed.
If you require a Certificate of Insurance for a third party, please obtain the information as set out above and submit the Request Form to the Department of Legal Services, at least two weeks prior to the Event.
Please note that if you have an Agreement/Contract, please provide a copy with your Certificate of Insurance Request Form (.pdf).
