Crisis Communication for Boards: A Handbook for Good Governance is an authoritative and practical guide for board directors, trustees and senior leaders responsible for safeguarding organisational reputation and resilience.
Developed by the CIPR Crisis Communications Network in association with the Institute of Directors, the handbook demonstrates why strategic communication is a core governance responsibility, helping organisations anticipate, prepare for, manage and recover from crisis.
This resource is the second in a series from the Network designed to equip PR and communications professionals with knowledge, strategies and insights needed to prepare for, mitigate and manage organisational crises across digital platforms.
This skills guide covers eight steps to writing a crisis communications plan, some general dos and don’ts, and concludes with a useful checklist for use in a crisis. It also includes recommendations for further reading plus links to the excellent CIPR Crisis Communications training and qualifications that are available.
