Safe, secure and effective operations involve the right planning and management environment, matched with good operating procedures in the field. To achieve this requires well-developed, integrated training, involving all levels of the organisation.

The Foundation provides a comprehensive syllabus of training programmes which draws on the highest calibre of expertise available. Our experienced Programme Directors are able to deliver strategic, operational and individual training either as separate modules or integrated into a cohesive, safety-enhancing package.

Strategic leadership review & training

All organisations benefit from regular honing of their leadership and management skills and structures.

But more importantly, regular leadership and management programmes - engaged as part of an overall training environment that links skills and awareness together at every level - are able to significantly enhance the safety and effectiveness of operations.

We can coordinate programmes to help our clients develop their strategic outlook and leadership capabilities, while driving and promoting operational effectiveness.

Pre-tour and in-post training programmes

Keeping people safe in high-risk environments is a large part of our work, and this starts with providing the training and procedures they need to operate securely.

As the need for humanitarian efforts rises, so do the risks that individuals run. Sadly, peacekeepers, aid workers and journalists cannot always rely on local goodwill to provide immunity from harm; so it is ever more vital that they be equipped with the skills and knowledge to help them avoid the worst risks and maintain their safety to the highest degree.

Having worked with peacekeepers, aid workers and the media in some of the most hazardous environments in the world, the Foundation's trainers can provide comprehensive programmes for clients, both before they depart and during their assignments.
