Clause 2 - Statements of Inherent Risk
Promotion of Volunteering Bill

Mr Julian Brazier (Shadow Minister, International Affairs; Canterbury, Conservative)
There is a solution, as the hon. Member for Loughborough suggested. Just as all the national governing bodies are free to lay down the insurance requirements involved in tendering, they could lay down requirements for an agreed standard certificate of risk.
There is one additional point. Anyone who joins a club at the moment—my sons recently joined Whitstable rugby club and Whitstable yacht club—already signs a document. We are simply putting some legal force behind the kind of documents that people already sign.
