This consultation closes at midnight on Friday 23 December 2011.
As part of the Civil Contingencies Act Enhancement Programme (CCAEP), we have undertaken a number of projects aimed at supporting responders to fulfil their duties under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (CCA).
At Phase 1 of the Programme, we revised Chapters 2 (Co-operation) and 3 (Information Sharing) of Emergency Preparedness (EP), the statutory guidance that accompanies the CCA, as well as drafting a new chapter on The Fit with Other Legislation.
The initial stage of Phase 2 saw revisions being made to seven EP chapters, and earlier this year, we asked for your views on these changes. Following on from that consultation, the final versions of Chapter 5 (Emergency Planning), Chapter 10 (Scotland), Chapter 11 (Wales), Chapter 12 (Northern Ireland), Chapter 14 (The Role of the Voluntary Sector), Chapter 15 (Sectors that should be involved in Emergency Planning), and the Bibliography will be published shortly.
In July 2011 the second phase 2 consultation sought your views on the changes to Chapter 2 (Co-operation), Chapter 4 (Local Responder Risk Assessment Duty), Chapter 6 (Business Continuity Management), Chapter 7 (Communicating with the Public), Chapter 8 (Business Continuity Advice and Assistance to Business and the Voluntary Sector), Chapter 9 (London), and the Glossary.
At the same time, we also consulted on draft changes to the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (Contingency Planning) (Amendment) Regulations 2012, and the associated Impact Assessment. We will shortly be publishing the consultation reports which will include the Government response to the comments received. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed. The chapters on Co-operation and London will be published around March/April 2012, to coincide with the revised regulations.
This current consultation, which is the last in the programme, is on Chapter 1 (Introduction) and includes text on the role of the Minister, Chapter 13 (Performance Development) - a merger of the previous EP Chapter 13, Monitoring and Enforcement, and Chapter 16 The Role of the Minister; and Chapter 16 (Collaboration and Co-operation between Local Resilience Forums in England) – a merger of the previous EP Chapter 17, Co-operation at the regional level in England, and Chapter 18, Planning at the regional level in England.
Details of the proposed changes to each chapter are set out in Annex A.
