GISF Podcast | Inclusive Security E5: Reflections on Inclusive SRM

This is the fifth episode of GISF’s new Inclusive Security Podcast Series. This episode explores reflections on the dynamic challenges facing organisations and opportunities to improve inclusive SRM practices, featuring guest speaker Lisa Reilly, Executive Director at GISF. 


About the series:
The Inclusive Security Podcast Series explores inclusivity through the lens of security risk management (SRM). It can be said that inclusivity is at the heart of successful SRM. Organisations have a responsibility to provide a duty of care to all staff. They must take all reasonable measures to protect their staff from foreseeable risks, including those that emerge due to an aid worker’s personal characteristics such as, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disabilities, sexual orientation etc. Security professionals need to have a comprehensive understanding of how personal identities and characteristics can impact personal security. This knowledge should be integrated into security policies and approaches so that they are inclusive and effective for all.
About this episode:
While anti-discrimination practices and legislation exist, the extent to which these are interpreted and lineally applied to all staff can raise challenges. This episode explores reflections on the dynamic challenges facing organisations and opportunities to improve inclusive SRM practices.
