‘Handling a crisis: lead government departments' areas of responsibility’

The UK government has published guidance which will enable business continuity planners to understand which government department will take the lead in any particular type of major crisis.

Aimed at government departments the guidance, entitled ‘Handling a crisis: lead government departments' areas of responsibility’, describes the key processes and disciplines necessary in planning for and responding to crises for which a particular government department is either the nominated lead or has key responsibilities to act during the progress of the crisis. It also describes how these processes will be monitored and audited in order to achieve a uniformly high standard of planning and preparation.
