How can parents track their child’s safety abroad?


Ensuring your child’s safety while studying abroad is understandably a top concern for parents. Here are some ways parents can track and support their child’s safety during their overseas education journey:

1. Regular Communication


- Stay Connected: Encourage your child to maintain regular contact via phone calls, video chats (WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom), and messaging apps.
- Set a Schedule: Agree on regular check-in times, especially during the initial days after arrival.

2. Emergency Contacts


- Local Contacts: Ensure your child shares their local address, university contact, and details of friends or roommates.
- University Support: Most universities abroad have dedicated international student offices and 24/7 emergency services.

3. Safety Apps & Tools


- Location Sharing: Apps like Google Maps, WhatsApp, and Life360 allow real-time location sharing.
- University Apps: Many universities have their own safety and campus security apps.

4. University Resources


- Orientation Programs: Encourage your child to attend all orientation sessions for safety briefings.
- Student Support: Universities provide counseling, health services, and helplines for emergencies.

5. Accommodation Safety


- Verified Housing: Pollster Education assists students in finding secure, university-approved accommodations.
- Check Reviews: Always choose accommodations with positive safety reviews and recommendations.

6. Travel Insurance


- Make sure your child has comprehensive health and travel insurance covering emergencies, accidents, and hospitalizations.

7. Awareness & Preparation


- Local Laws & Customs: Encourage your child to understand local laws and cultural practices.
