- Plan and develop a programme of physical and operational security risk assessments to identify and assess potential failings in security arrangements within key NR sites, particularly those identified as Critical National Infrastructure, and associated security/emergency/contingency plans.
- Provide Level 2 assurance function in the field of operational security and compliance with the National Railways Security Programme (NRSP), by carrying out physical security risk assessments and covert tests of NR assets as required, in order to confirm compliance with legislation and provide recommendations for improvement.
- Provide a link at strategic level to Local Resilience Fora, Devolved Administrations and national representative bodies (e.g. Chief Fire Officers Association) in order to discharge NR’s obligations under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (CCA 2004). Represent NR at strategic groups acting as a conduit for information from NR to the wider resilience community.
- Contribute to, or lead as required, the delivery of special projects in the field of operational security or contingency planning and security elements of infrastructure upgrade projects, to deliver operational capability and comply with regulation.
