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 2025/26.

          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. The Risk Control Measures had been reviewed and updated in line with current charges within the Authority and as proposed by managers and internal stakeholders.

          It was noted that a new Risk Management Policy was in development which would be accompanied by a new risk register design. This was being completed over the summer of 2025 and it was anticipated that it would be submitted to the Board in September 2025 for consideration and approval.

          A Board Member raised an issue around vulnerable adults in social care and it was agreed that this would be reported back to the relevant department.

          RESOLVED: That

1)    the review of risks mitigating actions be noted; and

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