The International Rescue Committee responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future.

Founded at the suggestion of Albert Einstein in 1933 to assist refugees fleeing Nazi Germany, the IRC has since become a global humanitarian organisation with programming in over 50 countries.

IRC UK offers various programmes. This Open University course is part of the Healing Classrooms Approach – IRC's global trauma-informed teacher training programme.
