Consultancy

Since 2001 the Trust has had a Statement of Understanding with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). This allows the Centre to provide consultancy services to the IFRC Psychological Support Programme (PSP), hosted by the Danish Red Cross. There is a useful page of information about psychological support on the IFRC's website. An example of the Centre's work with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was reported in an edition of the IFRC's newsletter, 'Coping With Crisis', (on page 5) which can be found here: Coping with crisis.pdf [pdf] 792KB

 

Since 2005 the Centre has contributed to the British Red Cross Psychosocial Support Team, which supports the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in assisting UK nationals affected by major incidents abroad, eg. the Asian Tsunami, the bombing in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt and the Japanese Tsunami of 2001. The British Red Cross Psychosocial Support Team has also provided support for UK nationals in many other crisis events, most recently the terrorist attrocities in Nairobi and Algeria.
