We are very happy indeed to lead the change required regarding safety and security learning within the humanitarian sector.

Welcome to the HDLC Movement.

In the past 18 months, students, (while employed by the following agencies) have undertaken HDLC safety and security learning from over 40 countries*.

Welcome to the HDLC

The problem was obvious in 2004.  

Staff who both deserved and required training to establish and maintain a culture of safe and secure operations were simply not able to gain access to such learning.

Many of these staff were at the "coal face" of operations which heightened their exposure to risk, a situation which is totally unacceptable.

The training sector had become stale, lacking creative strategies and indeed motivation to develop mechanisms to address learning accessibility, creativity and affordability.

The HDLC was established to specifically address this situation, to provide learning opportunities to those who have historically missed out because of socio-economic, travel and location limitations.  

One recent HDLC student writes;

"I had no options, the course fees with other companies are hundreds of dollars, sometimes over a thousand, even if I had the money, I would also have to buy a plane ticket and accommodation which is even harder.  

Even if I could do all of that, because of where I live, it is difficult if not impossible to gain a visa for most of the locations training is conducted, and I am lucky because I actually have a passport unlike most of my friends.  

Your training and your motivations for people like me has given me an opportunity I just didn't have until now........thankyou"        RB Uganda
