Dr Adele-Louise Carter of the British Computer Society concentrated on the impact of public/private partnerships, emphasising communication as a means to ensure that contingency plans are developed and maintained – helping to guarantee a smooth transition in a crisis. We also welcomed Detective Chief Inspector Chris Phillips, of NaCTSO – the National Counter Terrorism Security Office - who shed light on our understanding of new threats, discussed ways to access specialist advice and helped clarify what various organisations are doing to raise awareness.
