31. Training modules on conflict and atrocities are available and promoted to all staff in the organisation through the Global Learning Opportunities platform and the Open University. As part of the planned learning needs analysis, we will review modules and assess the need to shift the focus of the atrocity response module towards prevention, which would ensure it is in line with HMG’s policy approach. The learning needs analysis will engage with a full range of stakeholders to understand how training can best service the needs of staff and identify gaps which need addressing. In addition, we are exploring how atrocity prevention modules can be added to existing human rights training courses, delivered to UK and overseas staff.
