New call-to-action

Case Management & Client Support Coordination is central to SHINE’s mission of providing holistic support to children, youth, and families in need.

This critical business function ensures that clients are properly assessed, supported, and guided through their journey with SHINE’s services—from initial intake through discharge and transition.

In a disruption scenario, maintaining these essential operations is crucial to safeguard client welfare, uphold organisational commitments, and sustain service continuity.

Banner [BCM] [E3] [BIA] [P2] Impact Area of Business Functions

The purpose of this chapter, Part 2: Impact Area of Business Functions, is to identify and evaluate the potential impacts that disruptions may have on SHINE’s Case Management and Client Support Coordination services.

These functions form the backbone of SHINE’s mission to support children and youth with complex social, emotional, and developmental needs.

By analysing the impact areas—such as financial implications, service delivery disruptions, stakeholder expectations, and compliance risks—SHINE can prioritise recovery efforts and determine the Minimum Business Continuity Objectives (MBCO) for each Sub-CBF.

This ensures that critical client-facing services remain functional during crises and that vulnerable clients continue to receive timely support.

The impact analysis also strengthens organisational resilience by providing a structured understanding of how disruptions can escalate over time.

This enables SHINE to make data-driven decisions on resource allocation, business continuity strategies, and recovery planning in alignment with BCM best practices and the guidance outlined in BCMpedia.

In a disruption scenario, maintaining these essential operations is crucial to safeguard client welfare, uphold organisational commitments, and sustain service continuity.

Minimum Business Continuity Objectives (MBCOs) define the minimum level of service delivery the Business Unit must maintain during and after a disruption to effectively support SHINE’s core mission and client outcomes.

Banner [BCM] [E3] [BIA] [Summing Up] [P1] Identification of Critical Business Functions

CBF-5 Case Management & Client Support Coordination is an operational backbone of SHINE’s service delivery framework.

Establishing clear MBCOs at the Business Unit level ensures that, even during disruptions, essential client-centric processes continue with minimal impact.

By specifying measurable and time-bound continuity targets—for intake, planning, coordination, monitoring, documentation, and transitions—SHINE can uphold service quality, protect client welfare, and support long-term recovery and resilience.

These objectives also help align operational continuity planning with the organisation’s broader strategic goals and stakeholder expectations.

The impact analysis for CBF-5 Case Management & Client Support Coordination highlights the essential nature of SHINE’s casework functions and their interdependencies with internal teams and external service partners.

Disruptions in these areas can significantly affect client outcomes, especially for vulnerable children and youth requiring immediate and sustained support.

By identifying the impact areas and estimating financial implications, SHINE can better assess risk exposure and determine the appropriate MBCO for each Sub-CBF.

This structured approach enhances SHINE’s readiness to respond to disruptions, ensuring the continuity of care, compliance with regulatory and social service standards, and safeguarding of client welfare.

The assessment forms a critical foundation for the subsequent stages of business continuity planning—strategy development, resource identification, and recovery procedures—ensuring that SHINE remains resilient and capable of fulfilling its mission even during crises.
