The one day female lone worker workshop aims to ensure individuals feel better prepared for assessing the potential risks and dangers they may face when travelling in the course of their duties. Particular focus is given to gender specific issues and the mitigation of associated risk. The workshop provides a single gender forum for the comprehensive discussion of female related concerns. Situational awareness and the avoidance of dangerous and compromising situations form the core of the workshop; with advice on how to deal with situations should they occur.
 
The objective of the workshop is to reassure female lone travellers, giving them greater confidence in carrying out their duties in as safe a manner as possible. By the end of the workshop attendees will be able to:

•  Identify potential risks and how to deal with them
• Apply best practice to planning overseas trips

• Describe how people are targeted, particularly females
• Illustrate how to avoid conflict through spatial awareness
• Differentiate between potential risks associated with a variety of common situations
