Applicants who don't choose membership should demonstrate suitable insurance cover before a place can be confirmed. As a minimum, this should provide cover during work for personal liability up to £2,500,000 and repatriation up to £25,000. Insurance cover is included in the Concordia membership along with other benefits.
UK work placements available
Concordia has placements on farms in the UK starting between now and mid-June. If this is of interest to you and you have working rights in the UK, then please e-mail students@concordia-
ysv.org.uk with your name, date of birth, contact details and the dates you are available.
We regret that if you are a Romanian or Bulgarian national, all our SAWS work cards for 2008 have been allocated and we will not be able to offer you a placement.
