 Many groups contact their local Council for support and get differing responses. Some Councils will welcome their local group with open arms and give free publicity in magazines, newsletters and their website; others show little interest.

−
−	When promoting the group at a public event, it is your responsibility to ensure you are covered with public liability insurance. If on council ground, the local council insurance should cover you but a '''council risk assessment form''' will need to be completed prior to the day. Do discuss prior to the event with the organizers exactly what you intend doing. <br>

−	<br> Freecycle UK does have its own [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UKmodsquad/files/Group%20-%20Publicity/Freecycle%20Events%20Information/Public%20Liability%20Insurance/ Public Liability Insurance] which can be used where there is no exisiting local cover.<br>
−
−	If you intend holding an event which will be covered by the Freecycle UK insurance, do notify [mailto:ukadmin@freecycle.org ukadmin@freecycle.org] well in advance, and you will be directed to the UK Events Support Team and a risk assemsment will be completed with you - make sure you cover the key points:
−
−	~~#Identify the hazards~~
−	~~#Decide who might be harmed and how~~
−	~~#Evaluate the risks and decide on precaution~~
−	~~#Record your findings and implement them~~
−	~~#Review your assessment and update if necessary<br>~~
−
−	~~For further reading on Risk Assessments please see the [http://www.hse.gov.uk/risk/fivesteps.htm UK Health & Safety Executive website]<br><br>~~
−
−	~~'''Some other considerations affecting insurance:'''~~
−
−	If you are holding a GiveNTake type event, consider carefully what you intend to do about whether or not to accept electrical items. See <br>[http://www.pat-testing.info/ PAT Testing and Portable Appliance Testing information]<br>Consider having a certified PAT tester on site to test all items. Otherwise, consider individually labelling each electrical item clearly as UNTESTED, or, failing this, do not allow them at all. This is because if they are left on the stall, technically, your Freecycle group will be giving the items instead of the usual role of the group as a conduit to help members exchange directly, and privately.<br>
