11.16 Currency and contingency funds

It will be important to consider how spending money and contingency funds will be kept safe and accessed throughout the trip.

The following questions are examples of what should be considered by the staff team:
  • Do the staff team take shared responsibility for carrying spending money to reduce risks of theft?
  • Do the staff team have access to a credit card as part of the contingency fund?
  • How would the staff team pay for medical care if required?
  • When/how do the staff team exchange currency?
  • Is there a safe in the accommodation?
