Report of the Cabinet Member Corporate Services

RESOLVED that:

Having considered the corporate risks and the progress being made to manage them and the format of the reports provided the Corporate Risk Register be approved.

The Cabinet Member Corporate Services introduced the report and explained that effective risk management was a key component of the council’s governance arrangements which included the Senior Leadership Team reviewing the Corporate Risk Register on a monthly basis. There had been an increase in the number of risks this summer due to the Cheltenham Development Task Force asking for risks relating to individual projects to be identified and treated in the same way as divisional risks. There were currently 19 acitve risks on the register, 2 with a low score, 10 with a  medium score and 7 with a high score.

The Cabinet Member made particular reference to Risk CR3 regarding bridging the gap as an excellent example of how risks are mitigated in the council.

Having considered the corporate risks and the progress being made to manage them and the format of the reports provided the Corporate Risk Register be approved.
