Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Local Resilience Forum (CPLRF) is a multi-agency partnership made up of representatives from local public services, including the emergency services, local authorities, the NHS, the Environment Agency, the military and other supporting agencies.
The Civil Contingencies Act (2004) categorises the different types of agencies based on their roles in an emergency.
Those involved in responding are defined as Category 1 Responders, and those who may be called upon to provide essential support or advice during an incident are Category 2 Responders. Other organisations such as those within the voluntary sector may also offer support within the community during emergencies.
A list of our partners and links to their websites is provided below:
Category 1 Responders
Category 1 responders are known as core responders; they include the usual "blue-light" emergency services, local authorities, and others.
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service
East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust
East Cambridgeshire District Council
Huntingdonshire District Council
South Cambridgeshire District Council
Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner
Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care System
NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough
Category 2 Responders
Category 2 organisations (the Health and Safety Executive, transport and utility companies) are ‘co-operating bodies’. They are less likely to be involved in the heart of planning work, but will be heavily involved in incidents that affect their own sector. Category 2 responders have a lesser set of duties - co-operating and sharing relevant information with other Category 1 and 2 responders.
