Why do Schools need a Business Continuity Plan?
It is important that each school has adequate arrangements in place, that allow it to respond effectively to a range of incidents that may impact significantly on the school.
The BCP documents the arrangements a school has in place to respond to a major incident, which threatens personnel, premises and/or the operational structure of the school.
The template includes a range of generic information, including how to contact the County Council's Director On Call in the event of the most serious incidents.
Our Director on Call can be contacted on 07989 734968
