Women’s Street Safety & Situational Awareness Masterclass

Women’s Street Safety & Situational Awareness Masterclass

JOIN US
Join us for the latest in a series of morning masterclasses ran in partnership with Tank, which will focus on women’s safety.
Here at RSVIP, our business is based on events and networking, and the team at Tank are no strangers to hosting launch parties and social gatherings. We want to ensure that everyone feels safe at these events and when they are out in the city after hours.
As we approach International Women’s Day on Sunday 8th March, this insightful session run by a former top police officer, will cover everything from planning ahead, being situationally aware of your environment and people’s behaviour, assessing risks and ultimately minimising the chances of being a victim of crime.

This mini workshop will offer you a powerful blend of self-awareness, self-regulation, tactical positioning, tactical communication, and human behavioural insight.
