The Local Authority role in Business Continuity
Business Continuity is seen as a way of improving resilience within the Community. As part of seven new responsibilities under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 the Council is required to promote Business Continuity to Businesses and the Voluntary Sector.
Your local Council(s) cannot prepare your plans for you – as only you know your business and your critical processes. But what we can do is provide links to useful web sites and details of supplementary information.
