In addition to hotel security, WorldStrides provides night chaperones to ensure the safety and security of the students by monitoring the hallways from the late evening to the early morning hours so Program Leaders and Chaperones can rest safe and sound. For added security WorldStrides (whenever possible) books hotels with inside corridors and hallways.
WorldStrides has an office inNew York City that is staffed by full-time WorldStrides employees, 24 hours a day. Being so close to program participants fosters an incredible responsiveness to handle any emergency or need that may arise.
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.
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.
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.
