Project partners

The Developing Community Resilience Through Schools project is a collaboration between those local authorities who were awarded ‘Beacon Status’ for emergency planning in 2007-2008. The project has been supported by the Cabinet Office and the Department for Education, who recommend that schools consider emergency planning as part of their wider duty of care to staff and pupils.

The beacon authorities are:

• Cleveland Emergency Planning Unit
• Essex County Council
• Gloucestershire County Council
• Hertfordshire County Council
• Humber Emergency Planning Service
• Nottinghamshire County Council and Newark & Sherwood District Council
• Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.
