This Call for Views will inform the review of the CCA 2004 and the Regulations and provide a vehicle for gathering qualitative and quantitative evidence from a wide range of stakeholders who make up the UK’s resilience system.
Guidance for completing the questions:
- You are not obliged to answer all the questions in this survey. If you do not wish to answer or comment on a particular question, please skip to the next question you wish to answer.
- When filling out an answer using free text, please only address the relevant question(s).
- Where you are proposing to change existing definitions or provisions within the CCA 2004 please provide clear evidence as to why the change should be considered.
While the CCA 2004 and the Regulations apply to the whole of the UK, the devolution settlements and administrative arrangements that apply across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are asymmetric resulting in differences in application. As such, not all questions are applicable to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Questions in Section 5 are dedicated to how the CCA 2004 specifically affects Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and have been developed with the relevant devolved governments. Respondents from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, will also likely wish to engage with other questions in the document which apply across the UK. The territorial extent of questions is clearly demarcated throughout.
Alongside this Call for Views, we will conduct wider engagement to explore the evidence gathered through the questionnaire. This will support a collaborative approach to considering targeted changes to the CCA 2004, to ensure it continues to meet its objectives.
