Rory Peck Trust Risk & Safety helpdesk

The Rory Peck Trust's Risk & Safety Helpdesk is open for registrations and is actively seeking freelance journalists who need safety advice for an upcoming assignment.

The Helpdesk was developed in collaboration with RiskPal to help freelance journalists around the world deliver their assignments safely. A team of highly experienced safety advisors are on hand to answer any questions related to safety –  big or small – and more about how to get the story and protect yourself when out in the field. All sessions are provided free of charge to freelance journalists.

Journalists should register their interest by providing basic details about their upcoming assignment and safety concerns. You'll be matched with an industry-leading security expert who will provide you with private, tailored safety advice on whatever you need during a one-to-one consultation online. Guidance can be provided on physical, digital, psychological or legal risks, as well as on risk assessments and planning.
