A continuity plan for a building that has to stay open
Written for the building you actually have, so that it covers what the regulator expects and what your staff would do.
Care homes, schools, surgeries and the firms that have to stay open when the services stop are expected to hold a continuity plan that has been tested. For a care home, the Care Quality Commission expects the plan to cover a failure of the gas, the water or the electricity, and to say how the plan will be tested to make sure it works.
I write the plan for the building you actually have, so that it covers what the regulator expects and what your staff would do.
Resilience
- An exercise with the staff on duty
The plan tested with the staff on duty in the working day, written up and dated, so the file shows it exists and has been checked, and anything that did not work is changed.
- South Coast Civil Resilience
A network for people on the south coast who would rather get ready now, who have done the basics at home and know each other's names before anything happens. Membership is free.
- Any other matter
Something has gone wrong and you want a safe pair of hands before it goes further. I read what there is and tell you where you stand and what I would do first.
