It examines the changing dynamics and psychosocial impacts of managing and securing events and venues in uncertain times.

The protect duty and Covid safe aspects of todays society will feature throughout.
You will learn about the fascinating world of safety, security and service and how the people delivering today help to change the way that we perceive, measure and support the changes taking place in society.
