Welcome to the Security, Safety & Duty of Care Circle

Welcome to the Security, Safety & Duty of Care Circle. This circle is for everyone who carries a duty of care: security professionals (CPPs, PSPs and PCIs among them), security directors, HR and safety leaders, caregivers and home-care operators. We share what works in prevention, in plain words, and we learn from each other.

Once a month, on a Thursday, we hold a recorded conversation: one guest, one practical topic, your questions. The first one is in December; the date is posted here first.

Before that, join us for Day 2 of the AI Impact Forum on Friday, November 13, online: Dr. John D. Byrnes, Founder, Center for Aggression Management, gives the keynote from 2 to 3 PM Central, then a panel from 3 to 4 PM.

Ask your questions here: start a Feed post with the circle tag (below). The best questions go to the Day 2 panel and to our monthly guests.

House rules

  • Be kind and curious. Every question is welcome.
  • No selling, no sales DMs, no prices and no income or results claims.
  • Nonpartisan: we talk about people and problems, not parties or candidates.
  • Education and introductions only, not medical, legal, tax or financial advice.
  • Protect privacy: no names or details of people who aren't here, and ask before you record anyone.
  • No confidential client, employer or incident details: describe situations in general terms, never names, sites or case facts.
  • No legal or medical advice here. For a real situation, follow your organization's policies and talk with your own counsel or clinician.
  • Disagree with respect: challenge the idea, never the person.
  • The monthly conversation is recorded. If you ask a question live you may be in the recording; keep your camera off if you prefer.
  • If someone may be in danger right now, call 911. This circle is for learning, not for reporting an emergency.
