"At times of crisis faith communities have a role to play in terms of victim support. Large scale fatalities raise specific issues for faith communities that need to be addressed. Strong leadership from faith communities has a key role to play when large scale incidents trigger concerns about social cohesion.

This document published by the Communities and Local Government department is intended to help emergency planners and faith communities through that process. It deals with principles and provides tools and a roadmap for good practice. Worse case predictions may never materialise. Nevertheless, this document is intended as an encouragement to those within statutory services and faith communities."
