Description:

The policy must ensure that response times for handling Urgent Requests be fit for purpose.

Specifically, the SSAC recommends that the required response time must have at least the following characteristics:

  • a. Urgent Requests are a matter of imminent danger. The language of the policy should reflect that responses are to be fulfilled as soon as possible, with urgency befitting the situation.
  • b. Paragraphs 10.6.1 and 10.6.2 provide time extensions that are not fit for purpose, and these paragraphs should be deleted. No legitimate Urgent Request should be responded to in more than 24 hours.
  • c. In paragraph 10.6, the word "generally" is imprecise and confusing and should be deleted.
