Local Resilience Forums
From SR
Roles
Local Resilience Forums (LRFs) are the principle mechanism for multi-agency co-operation at the local level. Local Resilience Forums are generally based on local police areas (with the exception of London), and bring together all the organisations that have a duty to co-operate under the Civil Contingencies Act, along with others who would be involved in the response to an emergency.
Local Resilience Forums ensure effective delivery of those duties under the Civil Contingencies Act that need to be developed in a multi-agency environment, ensuring that preparation for emergencies is done in a co-ordinated, effective way by all local responders working together.
Structure
In London there are six LRFs, bringing together groups of five or six boroughs.
A list of every LRF and their contact details can be found on the UK Resiliance website.
Committees
Each LRF has their own Telecommunications Sub-Groups to ensure local responders and their partners are able to communicate effectively even when faced with the most challenging circumstances.
