LCAS 2009 seminar topics
• Accident Review
This is a regular, popular feature of the seminars when we review recent claims that have been made against Town and Parish Councils. We will use these claims to discuss the information needed to help you and your insurers make the decision on whether the claim can be defended or if it must be settled.
• Management of Halls
This session will be an interactive look at the benefits and challenges you face when managing your Town or Community Halls. We will be discussing the measures needed to successfully maintain, hire-out and manage these facilities for the benefit of all involved.
• Risk Management
Why do local councils need to develop risk management action plans? Does your council have a plan? We will use this session to take you through the risk management process and give you some practical methods for identifying your risks.
The seminars are an excellent opportunity to ask Zurich’s Risk Consultants questions about your own Council’s health & safety and risk management issues.
