There are a number of separate procedures in place in each academy regarding business continuity to deal with range of potential scenarios, events or circumstances. Disaster recovery and business continuity arrangements for business critical resources and systems are detailed in the relevant policies (i.e. Finance Policy and IT Policy).
Procedure for checking the identity of visitors
Visitors to the academies are required to sign in on the visitors register and are asked to produce photographic identification and the reason for their visit.
