Coach Insurance is only provided to British Rowing Members who have a Coach membership. This is only available to individuals who have a coaching qualification or who have been endorsed by their club - see https://www.britishrowing.org/join/membership-faqs/#coach.  In other situations, you would need to speak to your club insurers to see if their cover would include non-qualified / incidental coaching. British Rowing does have resources for coaches via The Coaching Stream that your club/unqualified coaches may wish to access or you can find out more about qualifications here.

Yes, cover is provided for competing and training on a worldwide basis. However, in respect of the USA and Canada, British Rowing only allows cover for 1 week's training prior to an event in these territories.

You are only eligible to become a British Rowing member if you spend more than 183 days residing in the UK annually. The Liability Insurers who provide the Public Liability cover can only indemnify UK residents.

The British Rowing honorary safety advisor and their RowSafe guidance states;

'The key point to note is that red boards are intended as advice to river users.  This is made clear on the Environment Agency website here.  It is not the same as a river closure or a navigation restriction.  It is up to the club to take the red boards into account when determining whether, or not, it is safe to continue to do what it plans to do'. 

As the red and yellow boards are usually cautionary or warning notices relating to stream conditions and should be taken into consideration when risk assessing the use of a particular waterway and the experience / competency of the rowers, then liability cover would be in place for those clubs that chose to continue to row in these conditions. However, if there are any notices which specifically state do not enter the water that would be a different matter and insurance cover may well be compromised.

Always make sure you check with your water authority and if in doubt with your regional rowing council.
