PROTECTING YOUR STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF WHEREVER THEY ARE
International SOS provides global solutions to ensure the health and security of your students and employees, as well as your organisation's reputation. Travel has become more complex, with a need for institutions to demonstrate their risk mitigation both for institutional compliance and to provide personal support and reassurance for their students, faculty and staff. The launch of ISO 31031 – Managing Travel Risks – Guidance for Organizations highlights the detailed guidance on managing the specific risks for youth and school trips. By implementing these guidelines organisations can ensure the safety and security of young travellers, providing peace of mind to parents, educators, and all stakeholders involved.
With 40 years of experience and a global footprint spanning 90 countries, our services empower primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions to meet their Duty of Care responsibilities. Whether travelling on a trip or in the event of a crisis, we ensure your students, faculty and staff feel safe and cared for.
