Issue - meetings

To provide a summary of the key corporate risks and risk management work undertaken since the previous meeting.

The Committee considered a report summarising the Key Corporate Risks (KCRs)and risk management work undertaken since the previous report.

Since the previous report, the overall risk ratings for KCR6 (Equality Gap) had increased to a 12 high risk and KCR9 (Education) had increased to 9 medium risk.  The overall risk rating for KCR15 (Reputation) had decreased from 12 high risk to 9 medium risk.  The definition and title of KCR13 (Organisational Change) had been updated to reflect current thinking and the overall risk rating reduced to 8 medium risk. 

KCR 17 (Industrial Action) materialised as an issue at the end of November, so had been removed as a risk from the Corporate Risk Register. 

It was proposed by the Committee that all reports to Council, Cabinet and Committees should include the risk matrix score in the Risk Assessment paragraph to ensure that management of risks was being considered effectively.

RESOLVED:  That

(1)       the report be noted; and

(2)       the Risk Assessment paragraph in all Committee reports to include the risk matrix score.
