Business Continuity and Risk Management
Most decisions we make involve risks and opportunities. In a similar way, the University will be exposed to risk when pursuing its objectives. The purpose of risk management is to provide a framework to enable managers to identify, assess and treat risks and harness opportunities so that the University can operate effectively and sustainably.
Business continuity considers the risk of disruption to the University’s activities. The aim of business continuity management is to develop resilience within the University’s Schools and Professional Services by raising awareness of the potential for disruption and maintaining plans for responding to incidents.
