Report of the Leader

RESOLVED THAT:

-       the Corporate Risk Register is noted.

The Leader introduced the report, saying how important it is to keep the risk register up to date, to recognise and address any potential pitfalls, and to calculate the outcomes if these are not acknowledged.  She said effective management of risk is part of the council’s culture and has always been a critical part of achieving our priorities and objectives. Following a review of the council’s risk management policy last October, the register is looked at by the leadership team every month.

She said the report is self-explanatory, with eight new risks added since last time, four of which are highlighted in the report, and a full list included at Appendix 1.  She added that it would be remiss not to note that if the risks associated with local government reorganisation are not managed effectively, it could cause potential disruption to certain services, and said the council must be mindful of this as it moves forward.
