What is Coverwell?
Coverwell is the name of the working group that has been established to begin the research and engagement on insurance issues. On the website, under 'Resources'. - you’ll find a flyer for Chairs (or owners with delegated responsibility for insurance) which provides an overview of CoverWell's activities.
There is also a form that Chairs etc can fill in which will provide high-level information about the Chair/delegate and the building to help CoverWell to engage with you in the future. The website is in the early stages and will be updated over time. - Geraldine Murphy
