What does Clarity do?
Clarity helps organisations like yours by using our Planning, Training and Incident Response Services to reduce the distress, costs and reputational damage caused by traumatic and tragic incidents. We can help you with the two essential elements of your Incident Management Plan – Preparation and Response.
It will help you and your organisation to reduce distress, control costs and protect your reputation.
Almost all organisations are vulnerable to incidents that cause psychological distress.
Do you know what could happen to your organisation?
You probably do. Perhaps you have wisely carried out a risk assessment. Maybe you are worrying about the outcomes of that assessment.
The list of possible incidents can seem endless. A transportation accident, armed robbery, terrorist attack, natural disaster, workplace accident, sexual assault …or something else.
Choose your incident management consultants and get to know them. You will enjoy better outcomes if you are familiar with each other.
Act now! You might save your organisation from mishandling a serious incident.
Contact Clarity now to find out the details of how we could work together to improve your Preparation and Response.
- Preparation means writing and reviewing your policy, training your team and practicing. It’s what you do BEFORE an incident.
- Response is what you do DURING and AFTER an incident.
Your Response should show you care – by responding promptly and efficiently. You might need:
- a helpline
- experienced consultants to travel to the scene
- your own pre-trained Care Team
- telephone based support
- and management advice
The organisations that want Clarity’s services available to them pay a modest Relationship Fee as part of a Service Agreement with Clarity. The whole of the annual Relationship Fee is a CREDIT. The cost of any services used during the year are set against the Relationship Fee.
When our customers use all of the available credit during the year – which they usually do – it means that having PRIORITY ACCESS to Clarity’s 24/7/365 incident management services COST them nothing.
Organisations that have a Service Agreement benefit from a 25% discount on our usual rates as well as other helpful services.

“With the assistance of Martin Alderton of Clarity we have just completed a new training video on handling major incidents for our worldwide markets. Martin’s input was invaluable from start to finish. Not only did he use his professional clinical skills but he also handled the script-writing, much of the presentation, direction and technical issues. Having decided to do this largely in-house, we could not have completed this project without his contribution and, as a result, we have an excellent and cost effective new training tool.”
“Outstanding. It was all good, especially the real world examples and the dialog. The instructor had an amazing blend of experience and training skills. Also great listening and facilitation skills. Thanks again for the terrific, highly practical sessions.”
“Your recent presentation to the Tour Guides that work on Globus/Cosmos tours in the UK and Ireland was perfect – hit the nail on the head and got them thinking. Many said how worthwhile it was, not just for their job as Tour Guides but for life in general.”
“Having worked with Martin and his team at Clarity for a number of years, they form an essential part of our crisis and incident response. He has always made himself available to my clients with little or not notice and provided immediate support at the scene, a response which makes a huge difference to our Tour Operators’ clients and employees. As a result of Clarity’s involvement and measured approach we have had hugely positive feedback from our insured and those he has assisted. I would recommend their services unreservedly to Tour Operators, Corporate clients and Insurers.”
“Just want to mention again, how good it was to work with Mark. All of our clients really enjoyed his visits and felt very comfortable with him. He fitted into our team perfectly, and was at all times a true gentleman. Altogether a very positive experience in a difficult situation.”
“I’m so pleased that we commissioned Clarity to provide this training. One of the participants was still chatting about the course when I bumped into her on Tuesday, saying how much she enjoyed it and learnt from it, so thank you!”
“Martin is a very safe and experienced pari of hands at a time of crisis. He and his highly-trained team of counsellors have handled a great many crisis situations worldwide. I have no hesitation in recommending Clarity Stress and Trauma, for any crisis scenario; you will be assured of the best help available at a difficult time, whether for your clients, their relatives or your own staff – or, indeed, all three.”
“I was really pleased to hear that you had been appointed to deal with the case involving a client of Sports Travel International Ltd. Ashley Gowing, the MD is a really good friend of mine. He mentioned that you had done a really good job helping the family as well as his staff members who witnessed the incident.”
“The scenario day that Clarity organised was a real success. Not only did it put our crisis procedures to the test but it gave us the invaluable chance to practice our skills in a ‘safe’ environment. We came away with a number of recommendations for improving our procedures and a renewed sense of confidence in our skills. Highly recommended.”
“Martin provided us with some of the best training our Incident Management Team has had. It gave the team hands-on skills, confidence and understanding in being able to manage a particularly sensitive area of incident management. These skills are now an integral part of our incident management planning. This training and the advice he provided make Martin a “must have” in any incident management toolbox.”
“It’s indeed a great pleasure working with Clarity. I thank you for helping us with this project.”
