PCW/Currys monthly plans will cover breakdown and accidental damage but not battery issues (officially) or theft or loss. An insurance policy may cover more or less. I don't know what AppleCare covers, sure it'll be on their website.
Of course iPods come with a 1 year guarantee and are covered by the Sale Of Goods Act, as with everything. I've found my iPods very reliable and would only get cover against theft or loss if you don't trust yourself not to lose it!
