With over 900 members, ALARM is unique in that it is run by members, for members, so everyone can get involved. Membership is available to anyone with a responsibility for (but not limited to) risk, insurance, business continuity, emergency planning, governance, health & safety, assurance, audit and anti-fraud, across the following:
- Local government - councils, unitary, mayoral offices, combined and devolved authorities
- Blue light - police, crime commissioner offices, fire & rescue services, and ambulance services
- Education - schools, colleges, universities, and exam boards
- Central and devolved government departments and agencies
- Health & social care - NHS trusts, GP surgeries, and care providers
- Housing - registered providers, arm's length management organisations, for-profit housing providers, and councils
- Third sector - charities and not-for-profit organisations
- Other organisations commissioned to provide services to communities and citizens.
ALARM provides a vast array of resources to help support us as a team, whether it is stronger, guidance documents, training or seminars. Let us not forget the ALARM National Conference; a great way to network with peers and build those relationships that we use in our everyday work.
Principally ALARM is a great platform for us to network with fellow practitioners across the public sector. The published guidance, events and thought leadership help us to ensure that our insights are relevant, practical and reflect leading practice. We are keen to also contribute to ALARM and share what we are seeing across our body of work, including examples and case studies of good practice as well as lessons learnt.
Having access to a network of risk management professionals has been invaluable to me as my career has developed. Adding risk management to my profile in 2019 meant that I was leaning on the training and networking opportunities afforded to me by ALARM more than ever and that really paid off.
