Students are travelling further and younger, disruption is routine, and the risks institutions face are increasingly personal and unpredictable. When things go wrong, they don’t always start as a headline crisis. More often, it is a health issue, a wellbeing concern, or a moment where a student or staff member simply doesn’t know where to turn. In those moments, duty of care is tested.
This webinar draws on real higher-education scenarios, insights from the 'Duty of care in an age of uncertainty' whitepaper, and emerging best practice aligned with ISO 31031.
We’ll explore:
- How the risk landscape for students and staff has shifted
- Why mental wellbeing and health access now sit at the centre of duty of care
- Where institutions are most exposed when plans change
- What effective, proportionate duty of care looks like in practice
This is a practical, peer-level discussion for those responsible for approving, overseeing or supporting travel - and for anyone who wants to sense-check whether their current approach is fit for today’s reality.
