Your Travel Insurance...
IcFEM have looked into specialist insurance; below, we have put relevant details of a suitable insurance policy as we believe that it gives the best cover for this type of travel and gap/volunteer work. The insurance company's which is appropriate for our students/volunteers is ACE Guardian travel insurance through MasterPolicy Insurance Brokers Ltd and Salt Insurance.
Students/volunteers must make sure that any policy they prefer will provide them with similar cover to the same level and standard as that suggested by IcFEM as many policies do not cover this sort of gap/volunteer activity abroad. Please contact the Gap Programme Administrator if more details are required.
ACE Guardian Travel Insurance
Being equipped both spiritually & physically for almost any situation in your new environment aren’t the only things to think about. You should consider the probability of the unforeseen such as loss of luggage, cancellation or curtailment of your travel plans, or even the need for medical treatment, due to illness or accidental injury. Incidents like these are not only costly, but can disrupt or even stop you carrying out your duties. That is why we have developed ACE Guardian, a medical expenses and travel insurance plan that has been designed especially for charity, missionary and humanitarian aid workers. In dealing with over £25 million of claims each year, the underwriters, ACE European Group, have learned what people just like you need from this kind of insurance.
