Travel is a part of regular operations at International Schools - whether that’s staff travelling from their home country to the school, or students going on international trips and this brings inherent risks. It is a legal requirement with significant implications that risks associated with travel are mitigated. Now the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has created a framework to guide organisations on managing travel risks, which was released in September.
While travel risk management has been a key part of an organisation's legal, compliance and duty of care responsibilities for some time, this is the first globally recognised standard. Meeting these standards will showcase your school's commitment to traveller safety, help you stand out as an employer and school of choice, and provide peace of mind to your travel managers, staff and families that you have mitigated all foreseeable risk.
Join Director of Distribution and Partnerships from World Travel Protection, Alex Twiggs, and Regional Security Director, Frank Harrison, as they explains what is covered by ISO 31030 and the benefits of following the standard.
Protecting personal data, intellectual property and assets
Reducing legal and financial exposure
Enabling business in high-risk locations
Enhancing your school's reputation and credibility
Contributing to business continuity capability and organisational resilience
Improve confidence in travel-related health, safety and security arrangements
Alex and Frank will also introduce how World Travel Protection can provide further support to schools looking to mitigate their travel risk.
