Safety Print E-mail

If you are travelling with a company, you should expect them to provide full preparation prior to your departure.  If you are making your own arrangements, or feel that you would like additional assistance to that provided by the company with which you are travelling, you may wish to attend a course offered by  companies running specific travel safety courses: see 'Before You Go' courses for more information.

We’re working with the foreign office to help you have a safe trip abroad. For more advice and country specific information, visit their ‘go gap year’ website: www.gogapyear.com
