10 Steps to Resilience

This document provides a practical checklist to help voluntary and community organisations strengthen their business continuity planning. It outlines ten key areas ranging from people, data, and IT systems to suppliers, premises, and critical recovery times, each with actionable steps to improve preparedness for disruptions such as natural disasters, accidents, or system failures.

The guide encourages organisations to assess their current readiness, implement protective measures, and engage with stakeholders like staff, suppliers, and emergency services.

While not a substitute for a full Business Continuity Management programme, it offers a structured approach to building resilience and ensuring long-term survivability.
