Rory Peck Trust Training Fund

Safety training is vitally important for freelance journalists planning to work in hostile environments. The Rory Peck Trust Training Fund enables freelance journalists to gain the essential skills and knowledge needed to work in difficult and potentially dangerous situations. Professional training with one of our trusted course providers teaches journalists how to assess risk and spot danger, handle a crisis, support others and give vital first aid.

In order to be eligible for a training bursary, you must have worked as a freelancer in newsgathering and/or current affairs for a minimum of 18 months.

Bursary will cover the costs of a safety course of the participant’s choosing from a list of accredited providers.
