FOX PURPOSE: To seek agreement from the Emergency Planning Portfolio Holder to the revised MCC Business Continuity Policy Statement. DECISION: To: Agree the Policy Statement. Review as and when necessary, with the focus on timeframes to be concentrated on reviewing the Register of Critical Services and BCM plans. REASONS: Business Continuity planning is a legislative requirement upon the authority under the Civil Contingencies Act The authority is required to have business continuity plans in place to ensure that it can deliver its critical services during times of disruption. A list of critical services is maintained and updated on a 2 yearly basis with the current list being revised at the present time. The Emergency Planning Service has recently taken on responsibility for maintaining this list and for assisting directorates in producing business continuity plans. The authority has additional duties to advise local businesses and voluntary organisations on how they should implement their own Business Continuity plans. It is not expected that plans are produced by the Council for these organisations, but charges will be made by agreement if the amount of time expended exceeds giving basic advice.

2 To meet the requirements of internal audit and guidance in relation to the BCM duty under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 the council is required to produce a Policy Statement to show their commitment to Business Continuity planning and illustrate the approach taken to meeting this duty. The BCM Policy was initially developed in 2006 and since 2007 has been reviewed on a two year basis with a copy being presented to Cabinet. As the Policy itself is unlikely to change SLT have agreed that the approval of the policy is changed from every two years to being reviewed as and when necessary, with the focus on timeframes to be concentrated on reviewing the Register of Critical Services and BCM plans. The Leader is asked to endorse this change. RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS: There are no resource implications.
