Personal Security in Emergencies
Proper training is one of the essential tools to ensure your own safety. If you have not had any security training and are working, or soon to be deployed to an insecure environment, then this is a crucial course for you. This highly participatory and intensive course will help you better understand your role in a given context. RedR has unrivalled strengths and experience in security training, and is the only UK charity providing this for the humanitarian sector.
