Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how the UK Resilience Academy is scaling its training capacity for local responders and civil servants.

The UK Government launched the UK Resilience Academy (UKRA) in April 2025 to strengthen preparedness, skills, and capability across all levels of government and civil society. To scale training capacity nationwide, the Academy operates a multi-channel delivery model combining residential learning at its core campus, The Hawkhills in North Yorkshire, with regionally delivered courses and an expanded range of digital resources. The Academy’s curriculum is open to all resilience practitioners and civil servants, and is built upon the updated Resilience and Emergencies National Occupational Standards, which were established following comprehensive national consultation with the resilience sector.
