The National Consortium for Societal Resilience [UK+] has held its first national conference at AMBS with delegates from local resilience partnerships joining senior government figures to discuss societal resilience at a two-day event.
NSCR+ co-founder Duncan Shaw, Professor of Operational Research and Critical Systems at AMBS, said the success of the conference showed the enthusiasm among local government partners for collaborative working to enhance societal resilience.
“The NCSR+ is well placed to be at the heart of that effort by providing strategic support to operationalising societal resilience as a local resilience capability. National government has set a clear vision of a whole-of-society approach to resilience. Now the NCSR+ and The University of Manchester look forward to working with local government and others to translate that into effective practice to further enhance the resilience of the most vulnerable in society. Central to this will be bringing everyone up to the same level in this endeavour and helping resilience partnerships to integrate local resilience capabilities so that individuals, community groups, businesses, organisations, and voluntary sector can all play a meaningful part in building the resilience of local society”.
