This accredited short course, working at Level 4, is for anyone who’d like to understand what is needed to effectively manage a kidnap and ransom situation. The course is delivered by a specialist in the strategic management of such events, and it focuses on the subject from the perspective of a corporate/commercial setting. Aided by the use of scenarios, this course enables you to explore and understand the duty of care and responsibilities in a kidnap and ransom scenario. This includes primacy and legal considerations and crisis response and management as it relates to kidnap and ransom. You will also cover communication, including victim and offender contact, as well as negotiation skills, and external and internal messaging. As well as covering the above, students can expect to also learn how to protect the physical integrity of your staff or company assets if threatened by a kidnap or commercial extortion-related incident. Assessment for the course includes group work, culminating in a presentation and a written workbook.
