Civil Contingencies Secretariat

Events

The Civil Contingencies Secretariat is committed to working closely with external stakeholders, and being as open as practical about its role and responsibilities. We believe that regular external engagements support our work to improve the UK's preparedness for and response to emergencies. As part of this work, we often have engagements in Parliament, such as statements, debates or parliamentary questions (PQs). CCS staff also attend and speak at a range of events, including conferences, seminars and workshops at local, regional, national and international levels.

This page provides information on forthcoming events involving CCS staff, including conferences, speeches and parliamentary business. It also archives events involving CCS staff.
