Overview
Emergencies demand more than swift action — they call for clear strategy, collaborative working, and confident coordination across organisations. This two-day course helps you build the knowledge and insight to contribute effectively at the local strategic level during multi-agency incidents.
You’ll explore how Strategic Coordination Groups (SCGs) operate, what’s expected of you, and how to make sound decisions in high-pressure, high-consequence environments. Together with peers from across the resilience sector, you’ll apply your learning in a facilitated SCG scenario — testing your judgement and ability to prioritise, drive strategic direction and manage strategic risks as part of a collective strategic response.
Rooted in national standards, JESIP principles and real-world practice, this course equips you to enable shared situational awareness, make joint decisions under pressure, and enable coordinated action when it matters most.
