Resilience Health Check

Understanding Your Current Level of Preparedness

The Resilience Health Check provides a structured, independent review of your organisation’s emergency preparedness and business continuity arrangements.

Many organisations have plans in place, but over time these can become outdated, incomplete or misaligned with changing operational processes, risks or requirements. A business continuity audit or resilience review can help identify whether your existing arrangements remain practical, proportionate and fit for purpose.

The Health Check is designed to give you a clear picture of what is working well, where gaps may exist, and what practical steps could strengthen your organisation’s preparedness.

Who This Service is For

The Resilience Health Check is for organisations that:

• Want an independent review of their current business continuity or emergency preparedness arrangements

• Are unsure whether existing plans remain fit for purpose

• Need to understand where gaps or vulnerabilities may exist

• Are preparing for regulatory review, organisational change or service development

• Want greater assurance that appropriate and workable arrangements are in place

This service can support a wide range of organisations, including healthcare providers, small and medium-sized businesses, community organisations and event organisers.

What the Review May Include

The review can be tailored to your organisation’s size, operational context and requirements, and may include:

• Review of existing emergency and business continuity plans

• Assessment of operational risks, dependencies and potential vulnerabilities

• Review of roles, responsibilities and escalation arrangements

• Consideration of alignment with relevant regulatory or sector expectations

• Identification of gaps, weaknesses or opportunities for improvement

• Practical recommendations for strengthening preparedness and resilience

The focus is not simply on whether plans exist, but whether the arrangements behind them are realistic, usable and appropriate for your organisation.

What You Will Receive

Following the review, you will receive a clear report outlining key findings, areas of good practice and recommended actions. The scope and level of detail are agreed in advance and can range from a high-level resilience health check identifying priority areas, through to a more detailed business continuity audit with structured findings and recommendations.

The aim is to provide a practical and manageable starting point for improvement, helping you understand where attention is most needed rather than leaving you with an unnecessarily complicated list of actions.
