Emergency Planning College

Emergency Planning College

The Emergency Planning College (Hawkhills) is situated at the heart of Government, within the Civil Contingencies Secretariat (CCS) of the Cabinet Office.

The College known as Hawkhills is located at Easingwold near York in England, and has an interesting history, having been a country house, police college and civil defence training facility before becoming an emergency planning college.

Since 1989, it has been the Government's centre for running short seminars, workshops and courses on an inter–agency basis in the field of crisis management and emergency planning. Its diverse and dynamic programme attracts in excess of six thousand delegates per year from a wide range of backgrounds providing a national forum for discussion and the sharing of good practice.
