Homeland Security and Resilience

THE PREMIER HOMELAND SECURITY EVENT IN EUROPE IS BACK FOR A 4TH YEAR

Recent events in London, Bali, Egypt and New Orleans have focused the attention of Governments and the private sector on ensuring homeland defence, economic security and asset and infrastructure protection following disruptive events. Establishing and developing the appropriate preparedness and responsiveness to terrorist attacks, natural disasters and wide area crises has returned to the top of government and industry agendas.

When homeland defence fails, national emergency planning, response and business continuity management will determine the extent of the impact any disruptive event has upon national economy and public life. This year’s conference will look in detail at global defence policy and doctrine, identify current and emerging threats to homeland security and assess potential vulnerabilities at local, regional and national levels. Strategic and operational requirements for the Armed Forces, emergency services and private sector will be identified, providing a complete picture of priorities in today’s global security environment.

With a view to increasing inter-agency and cross sector communication and co-operation, Homeland Security and Resilience 2006 will present the crucial security objectives that defence and resilience planning must consider to ensure national cross sector capability, and provide innovative proposals as to how they may be achieved.

Bringing together high level international perspectives from defence, aviation, transportation, business and infrastructure, Homeland Security and Resilience 2006 will outline how national resources can be combined to provide increased emergency preparedness, responsiveness and security. Other key issues being discussed include the effect of future security legislation on civil liberties, critical infrastructure protection, geospatial intelligence, bio-defence, border security, cybersecurity and the impact of increased national spending for homeland defence. Emerging systems including intelligent sensors, biometric technologies and IED countermeasures will also be examined illustrating what resources are available to counter the threats posed by today’s unpredictable security environment.

Homeland Security and Resilience 2006 will feature a mixed programme of high level presentations from key industry figures and some interactive plenary sessions.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
