Our commitment to duty of care
At Projects Abroad, student safety and well-being are at the core of everything we do. With 30+ years of experience running programs worldwide, we have developed comprehensive risk management protocols to ensure a safe and supportive environment for students and faculty. Every program receives a customized risk assessment in advance, tailored to the specific destination and activities involved. Our in-country teams provide 24/7 support, conduct thorough safety evaluations, and maintain strong relationships with local authorities and healthcare providers to proactively address potential risks.
We are proud members of OSAC (Overseas Security Advisory Council), Pulse, and the Forum on Education Abroad, aligning our practices with industry-leading safety standards. Our commitment to Duty of Care includes pre-departure training, in-country orientations, emergency response plans, and ongoing risk monitoring to provide institutions with a trusted and secure study abroad experience.
