Why we’re backing our UK skills champions (and why you should too)

This August, teams from over 200 nations will gather to compete in the sticky heat of the Paris summer at the Olympic Games after years of dedication, preparation, and sacrifice.

Is your organisation prepared for a major incident?

We live in an unpredictable world where an unforeseen incident or environmental event could disrupt a Further Education (FE) College at any moment. Fire, natural disasters like flooding, pandemics or even a cyber-attack could all result in serious interruption to your organisation.
All FE Colleges should be prepared to respond to an unexpected emergency, disaster or crisis. Having pre-planned strategies in place should help you recover from the effects of such situations in as timely a manner as possible.
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) helps increase organisational resilience by identifying the priority activities and developing suitable strategies and solutions for continuity following a disruption. It will also assist you by assessing the impacts of potential scenarios that could affect your college and help you to allocate the necessary resources to minimise the disruption.
