Family Liaison Officer Training

The Family Liaison Officer (FLO) role during many crisis events is central to protecting not only staff and their loved ones, but also the wider interests of the organization. In emotionally charged situations where information is often at risk of mishandling, FLOs form the bridge between families and the organization, providing support to the family of staff members who may be at risk or have been killed or injured, while concurrently protecting organizational interests. RSM provides a blend of online and instructor led (remote) training and exercising recognized by multiple awarding bodies.

The RSM FLO course comes with an Institute of Leadership Management (ILM) Family Liaison Officer qualification, and for those attending the 2-day program it also comes with a Train the Trainer certification.

RSM provides two virtual and/or in-person training courses for Family Liaison Officers:

  1. Direct 1-day FLO qualification course
  2. An FLO Train the Trainer 2-day course with options to self-train and self-qualify organizational staff

The 1-day course trains and certifies the FLO while the 2-day Train the Trainer course trains the FLO through both an eLearning Train the Trainer course and a 2-day instructor led program; and with the use of the RSM leased training program and materials, allows the participant to then train and self-certify other organizational FLOs using RSM’s: [1] class-based materials, [2] digital emergency management team tabletop exercises, [3] an ISO and BSI compliant Family Liaison Business Continuity Plan, and [4] the FLO eLearning program.

The ability for organizations to internalize capacity with core FLO Instructors who can effectively brief leadership teams and grow through scheduled or just-in-time training new FLO’s ensures a highly effective strategy for protecting people, business interests and the wider reputational needs of the organization.
