Business Continuity Planning
A Business Continuity Plan sets out how the organisation has prepared for different types of emergencies and major events that might occur, and are outside our control, that would affect the continuity of our plan management services.
The plan helps us to continue to operate while the disaster or major incident that has occurred is addressed. The plan will be updated as needed to ensure it addresses the needs of the organisation, clients, providers, and employees. The plan also helps the organisation to recover quickly after any type of disaster or event that causes the business to be unable to run as usual.
Communication
NDSP has identified different ways we will communicate with our clients if our services are interrupted to ensure everyone remains informed about what is happening and when services should resume if they have been impacted.
