This course is designed to prepare humanitarians - individual practitioners, managers, and security staff - to work in high-risk environments. Students completing this course will be able to identify the most common security threats and trends in these risks, allowing them to be proactive in reducing their exposure. They will understand the organizational duty of care, learn how to develop compliant security plans, and conduct a security risk assessment. The concept of acceptable risk will be presented, as will the idea of balancing security risk with program delivery. Upon gaining an understanding of security planning, students will be introduced to techniques for critical incident management to reduce the impact of such events. In the final module, students will be taught how to better protect themselves during high-risk events to increase their chance of survival.
