The annual Business Continuity Awareness Week is taking place from 22nd-26th March 2010.
Business Continuity Awareness Week is led by the Business Continuity Institute; it aims to show the growing importance of Business Continuity Management (BCM) as an integral management tool and raise awareness amongst colleagues and customers.
Business Continuity Awareness Week is an opportunity for me to raise awareness about Surrey County Council’s business continuity programme and to promote the value of business continuity to business and voluntary organisations in the area.
As an elected Member, I have a very important role to play with regard to business continuity. Firstly, it is important that I hold Surrey County Council accountable for its business continuity planning to ensure that the council can continue to deliver essential services to the people of Surrey in the event of a disruptive incident.
Surrey County Council is a Category 1 responder under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and as such has a statutory duty to have tried and tested business continuity plans in place.
Secondly, I can play a key role in encouraging local businesses and community or voluntary organisations to develop their own business continuity plan.
