Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
32. The OCSM is currently scoping the needs for additional centralised guidance and will use this analysis to develop and expand existing resources available to Post and in the UK. Through our assessment of how to strengthen existing reporting and communication systems (see Recommendation 19), OCSM will develop and integrate specific guidance on reporting urgent risks into training. The Mass Atrocity Prevention Hub currently directs desks and Posts towards existing resources and support, such as analysis frameworks and atrocity prevention toolkits authored by United Nations Offices, the United States Agency for International Development, and civil society organisations.
