This note is intended to provide an overview of the duty of care owed to employees who are deployed from England or Wales to work in another jurisdiction, either on a short-term basis (e.g. a business trip) or as part of a longer-term arrangement, such as an international assignment or secondment. This note covers the position under the laws of England and Wales (in force at the time of writing) only, and does not address the legal rights of British nationals (or nationals of any other country) who are employed by local employers in countries other than England and Wales.
