Recovery Strategies
CBF-1 Educational Psychology Services (EPS)
In the context of SHINE Children and Youth Services (SHINE), the Recovery Strategies for the Critical Business Function (CBF-01): Educational Psychology Services (EPS) are integral to ensuring that the delivery of vital services to children, youth, and their families continues without disruption in the event of a crisis or disaster.
Recovery strategies focus on the swift and effective restoration of EPS operations, ensuring that psycho-educational assessments, interventions, and related services can be re-established within agreed timelines.
These strategies also aim to minimise service downtime, protect vulnerable populations, and adhere to relevant compliance and regulatory requirements.
In line with the Business Continuity Management (BCM) framework, these recovery strategies must align with the Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) for each service component under EPS.
Each strategy is customised to meet the specific needs of the sub-critical business functions (Sub-CBFs) of CBF-01 EPS, based on the nature and urgency of the services they provide.
Below is a table outlining the recovery strategies for the various Sub-CBFs of CBF-01 Educational Psychology Services, detailing the RTOs, recovery strategies, locations, and the justification for selecting each recovery approach.
