Recently, the teams of the Ukrainian and Canadian Red Cross held two-day seminars on “Safety and Risk Management” for the heads of regional branches and interregional offices of the Ukrainian Red Cross in Kyiv and Lviv.
The seminar covered the following topics:

- Security incidents;
- Risks and potential threats in the current activities of the Ukrainian Red Cross;

Safety is a crucial component of the work of the Ukrainian Red Cross staff and volunteers, as it entails protection from potential threats and the ongoing need for their management. The knowledge acquired at the workshop will complement the organisation’s existing experience in ensuring the safety of staff, volunteers, and beneficiaries in the current circumstances.
