Course about ongoing deadly violence (ODV)

In an ongoing deadly violence (ODV) situation, it is important to act in a rapid and effective way. The Faculty is now offering two courses in English this autumn on how to handle ODV. Registration is open to all faculty staff.

Participants will learn to recognise ODV situations and understand how to respond, as well as gaining knowledge about sheltering, evacuation, lockdown and barricading. Participants will also develop an understanding of stress and crisis reactions.

Both training courses will be held in English. They will take place at our premises in Lund and Helsingborg with external instructors.
