JESIP

JESIP is the Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Principles, as the National Risk Register 2025 expands the name. The JESIP website says the programme grew from reviews of major national emergencies which found that the emergency services carried out their individual roles efficiently and professionally but that there were recurring issues with interoperability between them. JESIP commissioned a review of major incidents from 1986 to 2010 where a public inquiry had been held, published as the Pollock Report.

To address those findings JESIP developed the Joint Doctrine: The Interoperability Framework, now in its third edition, which the website describes as "the foundation for all responder organisation multi-agency working in the UK", providing "a set of common models and principles". Alongside it sit Joint Organisational Learning Online, a platform on ResilienceDirect where responder organisations share lessons from exercises and incidents; M/ETHANE templates and other supporting documents; a one-day multi-agency course for control room staff and commanders; an awareness presentation; e-learning; films; and a mobile app.

The National Risk Register says use of the principles "provides the basis for a coherent multi-agency response" to a terrorist attack. The 2026 implementation report says JESIP relaunched the learning platform to support Category 1 and 2 responders in sharing operational learning.
