The first NEC4 webinar in this series focuses on how the [early warning process ](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/guidance/nec-ecc-clause-16-early-warnings.md)should be understood and proactively managed for the benefit of all parties. Glenn Hide ([GMH Planning](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/page/gmh-planning.md)), Ben Walker ([Gather](https://www.gatherinsights.com/)) and David Allen ([CECA](https://www.ceca.co.uk/)) review all aspects of the early warning process and how it can practically be managed.

This webinar considers in detail:

- potential negative perceptions around early warning process
- what is an early warning
- what should be included within an early warning notification
- details of the Early Warning Register (formerly known as the Risk Register)
- use of digital systems for the early warning process
- early warning meetings
- emphasise that early warnings are not meant to be a commercial tool
