"Since our last newsletter in June we have secured two further key accounts with Save The Children and Motorola. The overwhelming response from a range of cross sector industries to NGO's futher clarifies that corporates are taking duty of care for every aspect of corporate travel very seriously.  Corporate Governance requires publicly listed companies to identify key risks within the business and explain how those risks will be managed. In the United Kingdom the Financial Reporting Council monitors this, in Australia by the Australian Securities Exchange and in the United States of America under The Sarbanes-Oxley Act."

"We are delighted to be working alongside our clients to assist with best practice relating to duty of care for their travelling employees in order to reduce their exposure to risk and drive compliance".  Declan Meighan

I chose Maxwell Lucas as my on-line training partner of choice as their travel security training provides that rare combination of an engaging and accessible course that has real life relevance. With large numbers of travellers to high risk and complex international environments, it is essential that we provide both our experienced and first time travellers with an understanding of the risks they face, and what we as an organisation expect of them. The Maxwell Lucas traveller training, in combination with our other information and support services, provides just that, and ensures our staff are appropriately prepared and that our organisation can demonstrate an appropriate level of duty of care towards its employees.

I would definitely recommend Maxwell Lucas to any organisation sending travellers overseas.
