What others say about our training
"I was very grateful for my RedR Australia security training when faced with a drunk soldier at a checkpoint one evening in South Sudan.
Although he was waving his AK47 at my head I remained calm and logical and eventually we were allowed to leave.
I think having experienced in role play during the RedR Australia Personal Security and Communications course definitely made me calmer and I had more of an understanding of what was happening." Christine Clarence, RedR child protection specialist, South Sudan, 2010
"The skills I learned in both the Essentials of Humanitarian Practice and Personal Security and Communications came in very handy during my RedR deployment to Mindanao in the Philippines.
After both formal and informal discussions with other participants, I’d packed the appropriate necessities. I was immediately comfortable and confident with radio procedures and the exposure to civil-military coordination assisted my understanding of working in a complex emergency where I was often required to have a military escort.
Having covered the ‘Sphere standards’ in the courses, I was able to identify where there were installations or practices, particularly in sanitation and protection, that were not of a suitable standard, and subsequently inform the appropriate organisations." Carly Sheehan, Mindanao, 2009
"RedR training made me aware of most security situations and also enabled me to take everything I needed such a equipment and medication. Training enabled me to promptly become an effective member of the humanitarian team in Dadaab."Terry Court, RedR Water Engineer in Dadaab, 2008
"When I’m working in refugee camps, thousands of people are depending on me for their survival. I can’t afford to not be properly trained to look after my security, and when a crisis happens I need to be there finding solutions. RedR training gave me these skills." Natascha Hryckow, RedR reports officer for UN Joint Logistics Centre. Pakistan earthquake 2005
