Low-risk UK Travel 

For trips within the UK where the work being undertaken is non-practical (eg: desk-based, conference, seminar, meeting).  The following form should be completed prior to travel: Working Away from Cambridge - UK Low Risk only

This gives the Department enough information to be able to contact you while away to check on your safety, if for instance, there is a major incident in the place you have travelled to. 

All other travel 

For all other trips then you should submit assessments using the Peregrine Foresight system. When selecting the departmental approver please select Approvers Engineering, unless you are an undergraduate student undertaking an Industrial Placement when you should select Industrial Placements. Once you have completed and submitted the assessment, the CUED Safety Office will be notified that your travel assessment is awaiting a review and approval. 

Travellers will be automatically covered by the University's travel insurance policy when submitting via the Peregrine Foresight system and the assessment has been approved within the system.

Full information about how to access and use Peregrine Foresight can be found on the International Engagement Hub.  This includes ‘how to’ videos and Frequently Asked Questions.  

NOTE: When you first go into the system you should log in via the blue button 'Login with Organisation Account'. This will take you straight in using your Raven credentials as it's a single sign on application. 

Further guidance can be found on our travel and working away page.

Please note

If you are going to be away from Cambridge for more than two weeks at a time, you will need to apply to be ‘working away' this application process (see Time Away from the Dept Policy ) should be made at least 8 weeks in advance of leaving Cambridge, as it can take a while for applications to be approved. A travel risk assessment is a part of the LTWA and you should not leave Cambridge until approval has been granted.
