PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE
It is confirmed that there is a North Yorkshire Police blanket policy in force until 31st March 2011.
It is further confirmed that this covers up to 5500 schemes and there is no requirement for each scheme to register individually.
Should there be a need to make a claim then NY Police are able to validate that the watch exists, is registered with them and is then able to provide the details needed to make the claim.
PEER VISIT GUIDE
The following pages offer an insight to some examples of best practice from Neighbourhood and Home Watch groups across the country. Each of them has been visited to verify the quality of these schemes and to draw out key characteristics likely to be of interest to those involved in NHW groups or considering setting up a new group.
For ease of reference, the best practice groups have been collated by type of interest and by region. Please be aware that should you be located on a regional border, groups in neighbouring regions may be easier access than those in your own region.
