Building Resilience in the Public Sector with World-Leading BCMS
Public services, at the national, regional, or local level, have the responsibility for providing operational and financial transparency to citizens.
Public sector organisations must be able to maintain normal operations and deliver essential services under all circumstances, including unexpected or disruptive events such as natural disasters, pandemics, cyber-attacks, and terrorist activities. Business continuity (BC) planning and management are therefore an integral part of any organisation in the public sector.

Can you answer these questions with full confidence?
- Is your authority prepared for civil emergencies?
- Do the emergency plans fully reflect the identified risks?
- When were business continuity plans last checked, updated, and tested?
Planning for Business Continuity in the Public Sector
Effective BC planning involves establishing critical functions, identifying potential risks and vulnerabilities, creating response plans by prioritising resources for quick recovery, training employees, and testing the plans regularly. Without a strategic approach in place, businesses may find it challenging to recover from crises, leading to significant financial losses, reputational damage, and even business failure.

While employee engagement plays a vital role in building and developing operational resilience, leaders must ensure a structured allocation of duties and responsibilities during an emergency. Investing in BC technology can help simplify and improve organisation-wide engagement.
Ensuring a Resilient Supply Chain for Public Sector Organisations
As public sector organisations work closely with and rely heavily on external suppliers, a comprehensive BCM software tool can help build and manage robust supply chain resilience plans on a 24/7 basis and in the face of any risk that has the potential to cause disruptions.

The implementation process initially felt a little daunting, as I had over 130 various government and statutory authorities to get through the initial setup. However, the team at C2 were amazing and took the volume of work and inexperience of some of the trainees, in hand and provided an excellent service. The support from 2 is excellent. Nothing is too small a question or too big a problem. The team are always only an email away and if anyone is due to be away from the office, we are kept updated with a temporary point of contact. The value for money C2 provides in comparison to the competition is respectable.

FAQs
What is Business Continuity?
Business continuity is the planning and preparation required to ensure the organisation can maintain its operations when unexpected or disruptive events occur. With the right tool, the organisation can develop and implement a successful business continuity plan that withstands disruptions and maintain and recover operations as effectively and efficiently as possible.
What is Operational Resilience?
Operational Resilience refers to the collective ability of an organisation’s workforce, culture, and structure to maintain critical functions during unexpected events or disruptions. Resilient organisations are built with strong employee engagement where people work and collaborate with a shared purpose.
Who is responsible for the Business Continuity plan?
In resilient organisations, the Emergency Planning Officer usually oversees business continuity plans to ensure that the organisation can continue to run in the event of emergencies or disruptions. The job title can vary, including Emergency Management Specialist, Emergency/Disaster Preparedness Coordinator, and Crisis Management Officer.
Is Business Continuity a legal requirement for the public sector?
In the United Kingdom, local authorities have a legal obligation to implement adequate contingency plans in order to maintain public safety and guarantee that essential services can still be provided. They must plan for emergencies, including setting up methods for coordination with other emergency and local services and communication with the public, under the Civil Contingencies Act.
