How to use the library

Read. Adapt. Rehearse.

The guides are designed as decision support, not as a replacement for your organisation’s policies or incident team.

  1. 01
    Read before the incident

    Choose the guide that matches your most likely scenario and identify the trusted contacts you would use.

  2. 02
    Adapt to your environment

    Replace general terms with your actual approval paths, service providers, emergency numbers and evidence locations.

  3. 03
    Rehearse the decision

    Walk through a realistic scenario so people can practise pausing, verifying, escalating and recording.
