National resilience starts with people.

At the UK Resilience Academy, our mission is to give resilience leaders across the UK the skills, tools and connections they need for the moments that matter.

But building a more resilient country is not just about preparing today’s leaders. It is also about investing in the next generation.

🔹 Building our resilience workforce. From businesses and civil society to local responders and central government, we need the skills and capabilities to prepare for, respond to and recover from disruption. That means making resilience a more accessible profession, showing young people the breadth of career paths available and the difference their skills, expertise and ambitions can make.

🔹 Building a resilient society. We need individuals, families and communities to understand the practical steps they can take to prepare for disruption, look out for one another and support those who may need additional help. Young people can be powerful catalysts for these conversations at home, among friends and across their communities, both online and offline.

That is why days like this week’s UKRA Youth Engagement Day matter.

Through practical sessions and conversations with experts, students from sixth forms and undergraduate studies explored how government, emergency responders, communities and organisations prepare for disruption. They delved into problem-solving, communication and decision-making skills, building confidence in the face of uncertainty, and discovering what preparedness means in everyday life. And hopefully, some will leave inspired to discover future careers in resilience, emergency management or humanitarian work.

We are grateful to our brilliant partners M&C Saatchi, British Red Cross, the Cabinet Office and the Institute for Civil Protection for helping bring these ideas to life.

Our message to participants was simple: whatever your interests, there is a place for you in building a more resilient UK.

Building resilience starts with one action, which leads to another a conversation, a new skill, a plan at home or an idea that inspires a future career. This week we supported some young people take that first step.

Next year, we will build on this work by growing our youth engagement into a full programme.

A more resilient future starts with the people we empower today.

🌐October is Cyber Security Awareness Month 🔐

Every October, organisations, governments and individuals around the world come together to raise awareness of online safety and show people how to protect themselves from cybercrime. The campaign began in 2004 and has grown into a global initiative. In the United States it is led by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Here in the UK, it is the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) that drives the campaign.

At its heart, the month is a reminder that cyber security isn't only for technical specialists. Simple, everyday habits make a real difference, and every person in an organisation plays a part in keeping it safe. The NCSC also offers free resources, including a personalised Cyber Action Plan that shows you what you can do right now to protect against attack.

But awareness is only the first step. A cyber attack can halt operations, disrupt services, damage trust and affect people well beyond the technical team. Cyber security helps stop attacks, while cyber resilience is what keeps your organisation running and recovering when one gets through. And it takes everyone, from the front line to the boardroom.

That's where the UK Resilience Academy can help. We are recognised as an assured service provider under the NCSC Cyber Incident Exercising (CIE) Scheme and our Cyber Resilience Learning Pathway builds capability at every level, from foundation to practitioner on to leader:

🔹 Cyber Resilience Foundation🔹
For anyone, from any background. No prior experience needed. You'll learn the difference between cyber security and cyber resilience, the threats organisations face and what makes an organisation cyber resilient.
🔹 Cyber Resilience Practitioner🔹
For those involved in resilience, risk or incident response planning. You'll create or improve a Cyber Incident Management Plan based on National Cyber Security Centre guidance, and align it with wider emergency arrangements.
🔹 Cyber Resilience Leader🔹
For senior leadership teams, executives, non-executive directors and department heads. You'll learn your role in managing cyber risk and practise leading through a cyber incident in a hands-on exercise.

This Cyber Month, don't just ask 'can we stop an attack?' Ask 'are we ready if one happens?'

12/10/2026

Our Business Continuity Practitioner course is built for people who want to put business continuity management into practice. It focuses on the practical 'how' of planning, response, testing and continuous improvement.

Over 2 days of face-to-face training, you'll learn how to:

✅ Apply business impact analysis and risk assessment to identify critical activities
✅ Develop continuity plans with clear roles, triggers and actions
✅ Put incident response and communication structures in place
✅ Evaluate your strategies through audits, reviews and exercises
✅ Respond to realistic disruption scenarios using structured decision-making

The course is informed by ISO 22301, ISO 22313, ISO 22316, BCI Good Practice Guidelines 7.0 and the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, with a focus on proportionate, practical arrangements rather than compliance alone.

It's ideal for early to mid-career practitioners across the public, private and voluntary sectors, including those moving into business continuity from risk, emergency planning or resilience roles.

📍 Delivered on site, with one night's accommodation, dinner, breakfast and lunch included
🎓 Includes pre-course e-learning (around 1 hour), a digital badge and a completion certificate
➡️ Part of our Business Continuity and Organisational Resilience Pathway, with Business Continuity Leader as your next step

🎥 Missed our masterclass on Community Resilience? Good news - the recording is now available to watch!...

🤲Community Resilience: The Evolving Relationship Between Communities of Geography, and Online Communities of Interest (and Influence)

Most of the evidence we use to support community resilience comes from communities built around geography: flood action groups, pandemic community hubs, and neighbours who come together to plan for, respond to or recover from risks.

In this masterclass, Rowena Hill takes you through that evidence so you can map your own practice against it. Then she goes a step further, into an area where the evidence is thinner: how communities of geography are shaped by online communities of interest, whether built around causes, politics, topics or movements, and whether organised collectively or by state and non-state actors.

What happens when both types of community become involved in an incident? And what does that mean for our resilience and overall risk?
