BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT

Practical Implementation

2004 saw the introduction of the Civil Contingencies Act that placed new responsibilities relating to Business Continuity Management (BCM) on organisations involved in civil contingencies work to ensure that they are able to continue their functions in the event of an emergency. However, BCM is not only essential to meet the legislative requirements under the Act but also reinforces a stable economy for commerce, industry and public services.

The aim of this event is to raise awareness of BCM and to inform organisations on the practical aspects of developing and implementing a business continuity plan.

This seminar is of particular interest to employees or officers of:

  • Emergency Planning
  • Emergency Services
  • NHS bodies
  • Local Authorities
  • Voluntary Organisations

  • The importance of BCM

  • The realities of BCM from organisations that have gone through the process
  • A practical exercise to build on how to undertake a BCM programme
  • How private industry can help
