In August 2009 the CfA started work on the development of National Occupational Standards (NOS) in business continuity management to support UK administrators, as well as middle and senior management in SMEs, when developing a business continuity plan for their organization.
After many consultations the CFA is now able to present the first draft of a suite containing ten NOS describing the functions that are needed when working at operational (supporting roles) and strategic levels.
The business continuity management NOS suite contains four NOS at operational level (admin support and one middle management level) and six NOS at strategic level.
To ensure these NOS are fit for purpose, the next stage of the project requires a wider public consultation to seek approval from the potential end users. To enable this, the CFA has published two online questionnaires; one which focuses on the operational functions and the other on the strategic functions:
National Occupational Standards for Business Continuity Management (supporting role): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Y6TW7Y9
National Occupational Standards for Business Continuity Management (Strategic level): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YTZWTGN
The consultation surveys are open until Wednesday, 8th September.
