To enable the Committee to consider and comment on the updated Risk Management Policy prior to the policy being submitted to Cabinet for approval.

The Committee considered an updated Risk Management Policy prior to the policy being submitted to Cabinet for approval.

The present risk management strategy was last amended and approved by Cabinet at its meeting on 14 July 2009 and was therefore due for review. The review of the risk management strategy by the Corporate Risk Management Group had shown that, whilst the majority of the strategy components appeared to be appropriate, there were a number of areas that required updating.

The policy did not include details of the risk management process or the procedures and documentation.  It was intended that these would be included in a risk management handbook or toolkit for staff and Members and would include information on the risk management of partnerships and projects.

RESOLVED

That the updated risk management policy be endorsed.
