STAFF SAFETY

conflict-affected areas

Our staff work on impactful humanitarian and development projects; it’s likely that their work will take them to areas of high risk. With more than a decade supporting staff in the field, CTG is fully committed to the duty of care of our teams.

THE REALITY OF OUR WORK

Political unrest, terrorism as well as medical emergencies are some of the risks our staff face. Our years of experience supporting staff in conflict-affected countries has led to us sourcing a complete on-the-ground medical and emergency response capability.
