WorldStrides has an office that is staffed 24 hours a day,
by full-time WorldStrides employees who are trained to handle
any emergency that may arise.
WorldStrides contracts with only major airline companies,
and we regularly review all of our suppliers, from hotels
to meal locations to bus companies, for customer satisfaction
and quality.
Chaperones receive a handbook filled with recommendations
to make sure each phase of the trip - from traveling to your
destination, to safety while at the hotel - runs smoothly.
The handbook also contains sections detailing what to do "should
a medical emergency arise" and includes emergency contact
numbers and information.
Teachers and chaperones establish rules of behavior before
and during a WorldStrides program. Before the group departs,
each student is required to complete a Behavior Contract and
a Medical Release Form. These forms ensure that all students
understand the conduct that is expected of them while on tour
and provides WorldStrides with emergency contact information
and authorization for treatment in the case of an emergency.
Each student will also be given an ID tag that includes important
toll-free phone numbers to contact in the case of an emergency.
