Incident management and business continuity planning
In an emergency, or to escalate incidents to the University Silver Team, contact the University Security Control Centre 24/7 on (3)31818 or dial 101 from the internal network.
However effective an organisation’s risk management procedures are, they cannot prevent all crises. Incident management and business continuity planning is crucial preparation for how an organisation is to react the moment an incident unfolds and in its aftermath.
The University's updated Incident Management and Business Continuity Policy was approved by the Council and General Board in January 2023. Further details are available here.
In accordance with the policy, every institution must have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and the University has its own institution-wide University Emergency Management Plan (UEMP). A template is available for University institutions to use locally. Note that these plans will be replaced by updated templates in Easter Term 2023 and made available here. The EAP will be replaced by the Incident Management and Business Continuity Plan (IMBCP) and form Appendix 2 of the policy; the UEMP will be replaced by the University Incident Management Plan (UIMP) and form Appendix 4 of the policy.
