Introduction
The Safe and Secure Approaches in Field Environments (SSAFE) training curriculum is based on UN Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) - UN System Staff College standard modules, and combines theoretical lessons, demonstrations, group-work, practical exercises and field simulations. It is delivered by SSAFE trainers certified by UNDSS and UNSSC, who regularly run SSAFE courses at their duty stations. It responds to the demand from UNDSS and the UN system to train staff (mainly from HQ) who need to be deployed at short notice to volatile and dangerous areas of the world, and need a comprehensive safety and security training.
