ARE YOU GOOD TO GO? DUTY OF CARE FOR SHORT TERM MISSION TRIPS
2:20 – 3:30
Room: Muskoka III
Many churches and charities sponsor mission trips outside of Canada. But, unfortunately, many of them do not prepare for the risks involved with sending groups overseas.
Join Ken Hall from Robertson Hall Insurance for a workshop on Safety and Security for Short-Term Mission Trips. Ken will discuss the most frequently asked questions about short-term mission trip risks:
- What are the top security concerns with sending groups overseas?
- What health and medical checks should be required of mission trip participants?
- How can we mitigate the risk of injury and liability?
- What legal responsibility do leaders have for the health and safety of mission trip participants?
- What are the best practices for avoiding the risks associated with short-term mission trips?
