1. What did your National Society do to provide volunteers with the best safety and security coverage?

We have developed a comprehensive Training of Trainers programme offering psychosocial training to all volunteers in domestic activities. The training is offered both online and in class. The trainers are volunteers. The training consists of both generic modules (PFA, caring for volunteers) and taylor made modules related to the specific activity/targeted beneficiaries (e.g. integration activities/home based care etc.)
