Business Continuity Management (BCM) is planning to ensure that your organisation has a relatively quick and painless return to 'business as usual' in the event of a major disruption.

The Civil Contingencies Secretariat has developed, in partnership with other government departments and local organisations stakeholders, a business continuity toolkit to help the commercial and voluntary sector implement BCM. You can download your own copy and read further guidance on the DirectGov website (opens in a new window) .

Dorset County Council also provides general business advice. A  Business Continuity Advice Leaflet (pdf, 315kb) (opens in a new window) is also available.
