RAMP Client Case Studies

ILS conducted a Duty of Care benchmarking review in January 2023 for Malteser International (MI). Following this, ILS was contracted by the new MI Ukraine Country Office to develop a Country Security and Safety Management Plan (CSSMP) which has developed into an ongoing partnership through our two day per month Risk Advisory Management Partnership (RAMP). In doing so, ILS has conducted four separate missions to Ukraine to operationalise the CSSMP.

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) contracted ILS through our Risk Advisory Management Partnership in 2018. This partnership is currently for five days per month and offers the LSE Health and Safety Unit travel risk management support and training services. Any research or educational travel conducted by LSE faculty members, students and academics requires the completion of a Travel Risk Assessment (TRA), which, as a trusted and professional service provider, ILS reviews, offering advice and comments on risk levels and risk mitigations.

ILS conducted a full review of IWPR's global safety and security provision in 2022 and has since become their Risk Advisory Management Partner, developing a comprehensive safety and security risk management framework tailored to IWPR's organisational objectives and growing programme locations. ILS has developed contingency plans and guidance on risks such as digital surveillance, protests, arrest, detention, and helped prepare and monitor IWPR staff travelling to high-risk locations. ILS has also been an active and valued member of IWPR's Crisis Management Team,helping to ensure the security and wellbeing of staff globally.

Since 2023, IPPF has had one of our Senior Risk Advisors embedded in its Safety and Security team, supporting their day-to-day safety and security risk management by performing a wide range of activities across their global programme. These activities have included the development of travel safety and security plans for staff travelling to high-risk countries; travel briefings;  risk assessments; and support in reviewing security policies and plans. Alongside this work, ILS has also developed stand-alone projects with IPPF, including a major, multi-country programme, including an innovative LGBTQIA+ Safety and Security programme for their partner organisations operating in high-risk and oppressive locations.
