Course Information:
This course is based on materials and approaches developed by UNHCR’s Field Safety Section for the training of UNHCR managers deploying to insecure environments. The materials have been modified by Evosec & the ISAB to apply to a wide range of humanitarian organisations, NGOs and aid agencies. The Security Risk Assessment (SRA) model is based principally on that of the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS). Other tools and materials have been drawn from various text, on-line, and other training resources, with due attribution to the original source wherever possible.
The aim of this course is to introduce managers of humanitarian and development programs in insecure areas to the techniques and tools of managing risk. Emphasis is placed on three principle areas of concern: security risk assessment, security plans and planning, and critical incident management.
There are several assessments throughout the course including multiple choice questions, short answer questions and assignments. The assignments will be graded by a tutor who will give you feed back on each of your answers.
This course is designed to be informative and build up the concepts associated with security and risk management in insecure environments. If you would like further practical training you may be interested in Evosec's "Planning, Implementing and Managing Security Plans in insecure environments". This course is a classroom based course with real world scenarios, group projects and discussions that help develop the skills required for managing security systems. The "Planning, Implementing and Managing Security Plans in insecure environments" course will be launching in April 2014
