Respond to the incident

Complete formal incident report

After receiving the initial incident report organisations should:

  • Ensure that individuals affected by the incident receive the assistance and support needed
  • Ensure that the response timeframe matches the severity and impact of the incident
  • Prioritise assistance to those affected and protect them and others from further harm
  • Consider any personal circumstances (ethnicity, personal status, gender identity) which may require a customised response approach.
