The Global Directory of Journalist Safety Trainers & Advisors is a searchable database of security professionals with experience and expertise in journalist safety.
It has been created to provide the ACOS Alliance community with direct access to safety trainers and advisors globally, and to help them connect with those who meet specific geographic and thematic safety needs.
A key aim of the directory is to diversify and widen the pool of safety experts in the journalism sector, with a particular focus on those who have deep and specialized knowledge of local contexts and languages.
Currently the Directory can only be accessed by ACOS signatories and partners via a password- protected search page. Please help us identify and invite relevant professionals to join the directory during this pilot phase. If successful, our aim is to make the Directory public.
