Which of the following is a continuing duty for the support broker?

Having a current contact method and a backup plan for emergencies is a continuing duty because safety and service continuity rely on being reachable and prepared at all times. This means keeping up-to-date phone numbers, emails, and emergency contacts, plus a clear procedure for who to contact and what steps to take if the primary contact isn’t available. It also involves designating a backup plan so supports can continue without delay during crises, after-hours, or unexpected personnel changes. Because emergencies can happen at any time and circumstances change, this task must be reviewed and updated regularly and practiced so everyone knows their role. Relying on digital-only logs isn't robust because technology can fail or be inaccessible in an emergency, so records should be available in multiple formats and easily reachable. Delaying documentation until after audits undermines daily accountability and safety, since ongoing documentation is part of routine practice. And assuming emergencies won’t occur ignores real risk and jeopardizes continuity of supports.
