Volunteer walk leaders who have completed the WHI training may wish to take advantage of our free insurance cover. If you are part of a wider scheme you will need to check whether your scheme co-ordinator has:
(a) applied for insurance, and
(b) had their application approved and received a letter confirming insurance cover.

If the answer to a. and b. is yes, then you will be covered under your scheme's policy from the date you completed your training. If you are leading walks on your own and don't belong to a scheme, you will need to apply on your own behalf.

Please note, that a scheme is not insured unless the applicant has received a letter from WHI Headquarters confirming cover. If you are not sure, or if you need an application form, please telephone Jasia Krabbe on 01242 533258.
