This guidance (see below) is to be used in conjunction with the Residential Care Establishments Business Continuity Plan template. In here you will find step by-step advice on creating a comprehensive business continuity plan for your Care Home. Whether the facility is a large or small facility, the concepts in this guide will apply.
The guide should be completed by a small group of staff working together to pool ideas and agree priorities. These people do not need to have in-depth knowledge of emergency management. What is most important is that the group have been given the authority to create a plan and that the owners of the establishment have a commitment to make business continuity a part of the corporate culture.
