Create a crisis communication template. Types of risks we face (safeguarding concern, financial problem, data incident, negative press): [RISKS]. Decision makers and spokespeople: [DECISION_MAKERS]. Channels: [CHANNELS]. Provide a one-page protocol with first steps (gather facts, protect people, inform the board and relevant authorities where required), approval routes, a holding statement template, templates for staff, supporters and the press, a Q&A preparation list, and a log. Emphasise honesty, care for those affected and no speculation. Mark legal duties, regulator notifications and insurer requirements as items to verify with advisers [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Add a post-incident review template. Also add a drill: run a one-hour practice scenario once a year with the leadership team, record gaps and update the template. Be careful with law: no invented statutes, no promises about outcomes. Mark local rules [VERIFY] with [JURISDICTION], and close with the three questions I should put to a lawyer or advice service.
