ABOUT AEDOC 2025: Safely Navigating the Global Classroom
On 9 October 2025, the International SOS Foundation hosted the seventh Asia Education Duty of Care (AEDOC) Conference in Singapore. Under the theme “Safely Navigating the Global Classroom,” the conference brought together school heads, trip leaders, and risk management professionals from institutions across Asia-Pacific to explore the evolving landscape of Duty of Care in education. Discussions focused on managing health, safety, and security risks for both the students and staff, inclusivity for students with special needs when planning for and managing overseas trips and international exchange programmes.

The session effectively raised awareness and reinforced the importance of risk assessment and student care before and during overseas trips.
The best thing was finding out what other schools are thinking… the risks and concerns that trouble them the most and ideas on how to solve them.
