8. INSURANCE COVER
The province has Public Liability and Personal Accident Cover.
The Public Liability Policy covers compensation with regard to the incidental death, physical injury or illness of third parties or the incidental loss of or physical damage to tangible third party property which occurs within the boundaries during the period of insurance, and which results from the activities of scholar patrols or their supervisors.
The insurance is only valid when the patrols function in accordance with the regulations as laid down, in approved crossings directly before or after school on official school days.
Personal Accident Cover covers incidental death, physical injury or illness of members of the scholar patrol team and its supervisors or the incidental loss of or physical damage to tangible personal property which occurs within the boundaries during the period of insurance, and which results from the activities of scholar patrols or their supervisors whilst operating a scholar patrol crossing or involved in any related activity (eg training).
Details of policies and cover can be obtained from the provincial road safety component.
