Our education and training help organisations in fulfilling their family support responsibilities and enable them to hear the family voice and consider their needs.
Based on our experience of supporting hundreds of families for many years, these information pages will give you a comprehensive overview of the considerations you should take if a family member or employee is affected by a kidnap, or if you are returning from captivity.
Our free resources provide a general overview of kidnapping, while our in-depth and downloadable guides cater to families, former hostages and organisations.
