Competence Domain Strategic Foresight & Systems Thinking
EQF Level Levels 5–6 (Basic to Advanced)
Duration 8 hours total (4 hours online synchronous + 4 hours self-paced/hybrid)
Module Descriptor Dynamic security refers to the individual’s ability to maintain safety and order through preventive and relational security practices. This module focuses on the capacity to apply dynamic security adaptively, translating preventive principles into practice under constrained conditions. It enables staff to make informed professional trade-offs, take responsibility for situational decisions, and maintain safety and legitimacy despite limited resources.
Target Knowledge (What you will learn)
  • The three interconnected concepts of security (static, procedural, and dynamic).
  • Nordic prison model principles, including normalisation, proportionality, and early prevention.• Institutional risk-assessment models and tools.
  • How capacity pressure and staff shortages impact relational work and preventive security.
Target Skills (What you will practice)
  • Balancing control and support in daily interactions with prisoners.
  • Observing and identifying early signs of risk or changes in behaviour.
  • Prioritising key preventive actions when under operational pressure.
  • Adapting security routines to available resources without compromising institutional safety.
Attitudes & Values (The professional mindset)
  • A strong belief in early prevention over the use of reactive force.
  • Commitment to maintaining professional relationships even under severe pressure.
  • Taking personal responsibility for institutional safety and professional legitimacy.
  • Willingness to reflect on and continuously adjust preventive practices across different situations.
Basic Learning Outcomes (EQF Level 5)

By the end of this module, learners will be able to:

  1. Apply dynamic security principles through continuous observation and structured interaction exercises.
  2. Identify behavioural and environmental risk indicators in simulated institutional scenarios.
  3. Implement preventive actions aligned with established safety procedures.
Advanced Learning Outcomes (EQF Level 6)

More experienced practitioners will additionally be able to:

  1. Analyse situational risk factors in complex operational cases and determine proportionate preventive measures.
  2. Integrate relationship-based monitoring strategies into daily security practices.
Assessment & Credentialing
