Youth Travel Risk Assessment
Every trip brings opportunity - and responsibility.
For schools, colleges, universities and youth organisations, keeping young people safe while travelling is about more than having policies in place. It’s about how well your systems, people and culture work when it matters most.
The Youth Travel Risk Readiness Assessment, developed by Healix in partnership with GSA Global, helps you understand your organisation’s current level of preparedness - and how to strengthen it.
Built on international guidance: ISO 31031
The assessment is based on ISO 31031:2024, the international guidance for youth travel risk management. It translates global best practice into practical steps that help you:
- Define clear responsibilities across your teams
- Check the strength of your planning and communication
- Review how you select and manage third-party providers
- Build leadership support for a culture of safety and care
