Travel Overview
Peregrine Foresight is an electronic system for completing, reviewing and approving travel risk assessments. It will eventually replace the other travel risk assessments forms currently in use.
It allows travellers to create a pre-travel risk assessment, send it to a departmental approver (please select Approvers Engineering), and receive feedback and approval. It is designed to replace the current paper-based and on-line templates, and provide a modern and more efficient system for recording travel by staff and students as well as creating and approving pre-travel risk assessments. Foresight calculates for you the level of risk associated with the trip and then directs you to completing an appropriate risk assessment, minimal for low risk trips, fuller for medium and higher risk trips. It also contains intelligence information about destination countries which you can refer to when completing your risk assessment.
Full information about how to access and use Peregrine Foresight can be found on the Safeguarding Study and Work Away website. 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 Azure ID', see image below. This will take you straight in using your Raven credentials as it's a single sign on application.

Help with using the system is also available by emailing internationalsupport@admin.cam.ac.uk (Mon-Fri, 09:00 – 17:00).
When selecting the departmental approver please select Approvers Engineering. 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. The CUED Safety Office will obtain any additional sign offs for medium or high risk travel.
To ensure an assessment is reviewed and approved prior to the travel start date of the assessment, the following timelines should be aimed for whenever possible:
-
Low risk – 5 days
-
Medium risk – 14 days
-
High risk – 2-3 months
Note for students: 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 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.
Feedback/reflections can be sent to both safety-office@eng.cam.ac.uk and internationalsupport@admin.cam.ac.uk .
Peregrine Foresight Flowchart
Future developments:
Peregrine is working on some significant developments to Foresight as a result of feedback from ourselves and other Higher Education clients:
-
In particular a request for an interim approval stage to allow for review of risk assessments by eg: a PI or PhD supervisor before sending on to the Approver.
-
Exploring how we can link completion of a risk assessment within Foresight to automatic registration for University travel insurance, so we can eliminate an administrative step for travellers. An initial look suggests that this might be easier than at first thought, which is promising.
-
An opportunity to shape an assessment template for when undergraduate students complete the relevant period of industrial experience.
Many thanks again for all your help trialing the new system and I looking forward (I think!) to further feedback.
