Emergency Contact with Family
- Travel leaders should not make direct, initial contact with family members without student’s permission.
- When possible, students should communicate with their parents when emergencies arise.
- Do not presume that a student’s parents are the listed emergency contact.
- Travel leaders should contact their department if a student is ill or injured, even if it’s not an emergency, so the department and University are not caught off guard if contacted by parents.
- If a student is ill or injured abroad, the student should be encouraged to inform their parents, but this disclosure is ultimately up to the student.
- Travel leaders may choose to inform emergency contacts about a potential emergency abroad without the student’s express permission, if the student is unable to speak for him or herself; the student has been missing for more than 24 hours; the student is perceived to be a danger to themselves or others; or when a significant health, safety, or security incident has occurred that affects the entire program.
