Emergency Preparedness Consultation: collaborative working between responders

16 December 2009 by Jim Bennett

As part of the Civil Contingencies Act Enhancement Programme the UK Government have undertaken a project to identify ways to achieve better engagement and collaborative working between responders to support them in fulfilling their duties under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (CCA).

This project formed part of Phase 1 of the programme which focused on improving the standard and consistency in the way the existing legislative framework was implemented.

 Through engaging with a range of stakeholders, we identified opportunities to improve Chapter 2 (Co-operation) of the existing statutory guidance, Emergency Preparedness, and have produced a draft revision for consultation.
The closing date for the consultation is  Friday 19 February 2010. Comments to Branch Secretary for 10.02.10 please.
