Will any new insurance cover be “like for like”?

No, we have an enhanced offer for the members of the EHO, as in insurance terms, umpires require professional indemnity due to their decisions made throughout a game. The current Ecclesiastical Insurance policy doesn’t provide this level of coverage, so the EHO insurance is enhanced and is more suitable to an umpire / technical official / umpire coach / umpire assessor’s role.
