Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of schools in England have a business continuity plan that has been reviewed in the last 12 months.

The department does not collect data on whether schools have a business continuity plan, or whether such plans have been reviewed within the last 12 months.

Settings remain responsible for complying with their legal responsibilities, including health and safety requirements, and should develop plans that reflect their local circumstances.

The department publishes non-statutory guidance to support settings to plan for emergencies within their own local context which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/emergency-planning-and-response-for-education-childcare-and-childrens-social-care-settings/emergency-planning-and-response-for-education-childcare-and-childrens-social-care-settings.
