CBF-9 Facility Management and Security

This section outlines the minimum resources required to sustain critical Facility Management and Security functions (CBF-9) at Kinderland during a disruptive incident. 

Given the organisation’s responsibility for the safety, security, and well-being of young children, staff, and visitors, facility operations, security controls, and emergency safety measures must remain functional even under adverse conditions.

The resources identified in this chapter represent the minimum baseline necessary to support continuity of operations, ensure regulatory compliance, and manage immediate risks at Kinderland centres and supporting locations. 

These requirements are aligned with BCM good practices as referenced in BCMPedia and are intended to support rapid stabilisation and recovery during a disaster.

The minimum resources identified for CBF-9 Facility Management and Security are critical to ensuring that Kinderland can continue to operate safely and responsibly during a disaster.

These resources enable the organisation to maintain secure premises, protect children and staff, respond effectively to emergencies, and comply with regulatory obligations, even when normal operations are disrupted.

By clearly defining staffing levels, workspace needs, communication tools, IT equipment, and essential supporting items, Kinderland strengthens its preparedness and resilience.

This structured approach supports timely decision-making, reduces operational risks, and reinforces Kinderland’s commitment to providing a safe and secure learning environment, regardless of the circumstances.
