The Government Indemnity Scheme (GIS) provides an alternative to

commercial insurance for loans in to institutions within the UK

In all cases, for indemnity

to be granted there must be clear UK

public benefit

Indemnity can be given to private and public lenders based in the UK or

overseas unless they are a UK national institution

Who can apply?

National institutions

‘Supported wholly or mainly from public funds provided by Parliament and which are outlined as eligible bodies in section 16(2) of the Act’

Non-national institutions• local authority funded• university funded• National Trust properties• independent applicants

What Indemnity can be used for

Exhibitions• most frequent use• covers the objects “nail to nail”

Longer term loans• maximum of three years per indemnity

Research• normally pre-exhibition• public benefit still needs to be clear
