Issue - meetings

          The Board considered a report of the Corporate Director – Chief Executive’s Delivery Unit, on the annual update of the Corporate Risk Register for 2023/24.

          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 half year monitoring reports which were reviewed and updated at mid-year 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.
