BOF removing insurance for non-members from 2026

1st Dec 25

From 1 Jan 2026, BOF will be changing their rules on their public liability insurance. Their guidance for events is as follows:

Participants who are not members of British Orienteering are not covered by British Orienteering’s public liability insurance. By entering this event, you acknowledge that you are taking part at your own risk. For example, if you were to accidentally injure a member of the public or damage property during the event, you would not be covered.

If you become a member of HAVOC, and therefore BOF, your insurance cover at events will not change.  Membership details can be found here.
