ALARM's Key Objectives

 

 

ALARM is a membership organisation of risk practitioners drawn from all areas of the Public Sector.  Our membership represents a wide cross section of backgrounds: insurance and risk finance, health and safety, audit, legal services, emergency and business continuity planning, project and performance management.

 

Our vision for providing the framework and establishing the key objectives for how we plan and manage the organisation is

 

"TO BE THE PRIMARY VOICE FOR RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE UK"

 

Four key objectives are identified as the means for how we seek to underpin achievement of this Vision and members' views are regularly sought on whether these are adequate and representative of their aspirations and what they want to be done and be set as the targets for their achievement.

 

    Key Objective 1  -  Identifying and addressing the needs of members.

 

    Key Objective 2  -  Promoting professionalism and best practice in risk management.

 

    Key Objective 3  -  Working in partnership withother agencies in the promotion of 

                                   public service risk management.

 

    Key Objective 4  -  Ensuring a sustainable and viable organisation.

 

The organisation has nine regional and country groups: East Anglia, Midlands, North East,

North West, Scotland, South East, South West, Wales and Northern Ireland.  These are the

main focus for member involvement and activities.  The regional and country groups are

semi-autonomous, but receive central funding and support from the Board.

 

The organisation has also developed a number of sector specific groups that support the bespoke needs of its police and fire service membership.
