International Travel

With COVID rules relaxing, lots of international travel is now operating again, however it’s still a good idea to check the guidance of the countries you are visiting before you go so there are no unexpected surprises. You can find that information here: Foreign travel advice – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

COVID is just one factor to consider when travelling. Emergencies can occur anywhere and unexpectedly, before you travel here are some things to consider:

• Do you know the phone numbers of the local emergency services?
• Have you updated your emergency services on your phone or other apps?
• Do you know where the closest British Embassy, police station or hospital is?
• Do you know the escape route or fire evacuation plan of the accommodation you’re staying in?
• Do you have a backup form of identification and money?

These questions are especially important to ask if you are travelling alone.
