Issue - meetings

            The Board considered a report of the Operational Director – Policy, Planning and Transportation, on the bi-annual update of the Corporate Risk Register for 2022/23.

            The Board was advised that the Council recognised its responsibility to manage both internal and external risks as a key component of good corporate governance. At Directorate level, arrangements were in place for the high risk mitigation measures on the Directorate Risk Registers to be reviewed and updated annually, in line with Directorate Business Plans. Progress was then reported to Management Team and Policy and Performance Boards.

            It was reported that the Risk Control Measures had been reviewed and updated in line with current changes within the Authority and as proposed by managers and stakeholders. The risks had been re-prioritised so that people, (the community and staff), took priority. These were set out in the report.

            RESOLVED: That

1.    the progress of actions be noted; and

2.    the robustness of the Corporate Risk Register and the adequacy of the associated risk management arrangements be noted.
