- How we can prepare for this and how we can support ourselves when such a tragedy occurs. 

- During the course we consider the mechanisms that organisations can put in place to support this issue. From staff recruitment, induction, training, policies and procedures, and the essential ongoing support (which will in turn improve staff wellbeing and staff retention).
