establishment of a project to undertake the review of the Council’s Business
Continuity arrangements. The project was
initiated on 1st February and is due to be completed by the 31st July
2012. This report presented by Kate Connelly
provided details of consultation arrangements incorporated as part of the
approved project plan
The Group:
(a)
Noted current
plans to incorporate feedback with communities and other stakeholders at this
stage of the review;
(b)
agreed to
help facilitate local arrangements in order to maximise input from local groups
and organisations;
(c)
noted that
since the project was initiated in February this year, a comprehensive mapping
exercise has been completed to take account of changes in the Council’s
structure;
(d) noted that the scope and nature of critical activities has been scrutinised, resulting in a significant reduction of the number of activities confirmed as critical. The revised list has not yet been confirmed but will undoubtedly include services to protect and assist vulnerable people e.g. children and elderly.

Minutes:
The Project Officer gave the background to Business Continuity Management within the Council to ensure that critical activities can be recovered quickly following any major incident which causes disruption of normal business. She advised that an internal audit identified that improvements should be made to the existing plans with a requirement to engage stakeholders and local communities to make it easier to engage with them and enlist their support. She encouraged the Group to fill in the survey which refers to critical activities and can be found on the following link:- https://secure.crtviewpoint.com/OnlineSurvey/default.aspx?session=819f0d9e-7ae7-4791-9bf6-1789ebadfb11
