Protecting the Protectors
This interactive session will challenge how confident you are in your organisation’s preparedness. It explores how the National Occupational Standards for Resilience and Emergencies support workforce development, and how a scenario-informed approach assesses preparedness in practice. It will explore how decision-making, coordination and workforce sustainability are tested under pressure - and what organisations can do to strengthen capability when it matters most.
