Co-ordination underpins joint working by avoiding potential conflicts, preventing duplication of effort and minimising risk. It involves commanders discussing resources and the activities of each responder agency, agreeing who should be the lead agency at any given time and who should chair co-ordinating groups, agreeing priorities and making joint decisions throughout the incident.
