Журналістам-фрілансерам. Прийом заявок для консультацій з безпеки

The freelance safety surgeries will be held on THURSDAY 1 MARCH 2018. These are for freelance journalists, photographers and filmmakers and are available on a limited basis. Security advisors from organisations including 1st Option Safety, Andy Kain and Partners, AKE, Blue Mountain Group and Buzzfeed will be at the Frontline Club in central London to provide personal guidance on general safety issues, risk assessment, assignment planning and digital security. The guidance is intended to give freelancers who are regularly working in hostile environments access to knowledge and expertise that will help them improve their safety skills. Individual consultations will last up to 45 minutes and can be booked for safety, risk assessment and digital security. One-to-one consultations via Signal are available for those living outside of the UK or  unable to travel to London. To book your safety surgery, please fill in the attached booking form. As our safety surgeries in 2017 were fully booked, these will be given on a first come, first served basis. Deadlines for applications: MONDAY 12 FEBRUARY 2018.

Any advice given should form part of your own assignment preparation, not act as a replacement for it.
