emergency planning
Newham Council is incorporating emergency planning into its 2026/27 councillor development programme.
In March 2026, Newham Council's Standards Committee reviewed a Member Induction and Development Programme for 2026/27, which includes emergency planning as a key training topic for councillors. This programme aims to equip new councillors with essential skills and support returning members in mentoring their colleagues.
Emergency planning, which involves developing strategies and procedures to prepare for and respond to unexpected events or crises, is part of a broader effort to ensure councillors are equipped for their roles. No upcoming council meetings are currently scheduled to discuss emergency planning.
