This is a subject which the majority of companies never like to think about, but sadly, kidnappings do take place as recent press will verify.

At Planet Wise we offer a specialist course which lasts between one and three days to deal with the subject. The instructor running this course is highly qualified and has been involved in training this subject for many years. He has also personally been involved in de-briefing the many victims, both civilian and military that have been through the experience.

Course modules include:

• Personal security awareness (as covered on the main course)
• Pre-deployment preparation
• Family preparation
• Personal security (work, home and traveling)
