We expect every contingent to bring a Head of Contingent (HoC). Besides the HoC, we encourage you to have someone for Safeguarding / Safe from Harm in order to help your participants and IST in your own language and keeping in mind your own culture. Bigger contingents may consider bringing medical doctor/nurse/paramedics. If you want to have a look at the number of CMT allowed for your contingent, you can find a table showing the allowed numbers in the Terms and Conditions. We are also considering to host a session about this topic to learn from each other what would be good compositions for your contingents. More information on this session will be available at a later stage. |
