Issue details

Summary

This report will deal with both the annual review of the Risk Management Strategy and the 6 monthly review of the Council’s Corporate Business Risk Register, following consideration at Business Support Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 7 October 2014.

The Risk Management Strategy aims to clarify the roles and responsibilities for risk management across all levels of the organisation, foster a culture for risk management so that staff at all levels understand the principles of risk management and risks are managed at the lowest level at which the manager has authority, and focus on reporting the outcome of reviewing and monitoring the effectiveness of the risk management actions relative to the significant key risks.

The Council’s Corporate Business Risk Register was developed in August 2007 and was last reviewed in April 2014.  All of the risks have been identified on the basis that they could affect the Council achieving its priorities.
