Decision details

The Committee received a report (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) informing of the approach and work undertaken on the Corporate Risk Register including the latest heat maps relating to the corporate risks.

The Risk Manager set out the report, drawing the attention of the Committee to a supplement that was published following the publication of the agenda, which provided a Key for the Heat Maps in Appendix 2 to the report.

In response to a question from the Committee around the residual risk for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) being high and the implications of this, the Head of Democratic Services and Monitoring Officer advised that the Council took EDI very seriously, however she and the Corporate Director – Finance and Resources would take this away and provide further detail on the narrative.

In response to a question from the Committee regarding the 12 identified risks relating to LGR, the Corporate Director – Finance and Resources advised that each service had undertaken a review of delivery and their operational delivery as well as their internal resources. She would take more detail on this question and bring back to the Committee, particularly around how those risks could be mitigated and what could be done to ensure correct processes and procedures were in place.

Whereupon it was

RESOLVED

that the Committee commented on the reports in the appendices and progress with risk management and noted the risks to the organisation and whether they are being managed in line with the Risk Management Strategy.
