otable anniversaries such as this provide an opportunity to pause and

reflect on the excellent work that REPs undertakes for the exercise industry and for the benefit of its members and the general public.

The REPs Insurance Scheme is a great example of the benefits that can arise from a situation where a professional and dedicated organisation such as the Register exists which maintains a close relationship with its membership. Through its hard work in the early years, REPs has created a structure which provides reassurance to the general public and members alike and, also significantly, to the Insurers who underwrite the scheme.

Members of the public have the confidence to use the services of a REPs exercise professional because they know the member will have appropriate training

learning activities for CPD purposes provides further evidence to the insurer that they are providing cover for individuals who are committed to their field and have the interests of their clients at the forefront of all they undertake.

It is through this recognition of the membership’s professionalism and expertise that when broking the scheme on behalf of REPs a few years ago, we were able to secure the civil liability cover required at very competitive rates, while also enhancing the insurance benefits for the member by
