This report enables the Committee to meet its responsibilities for monitoring the development of the Council’s risk management arrangements.

The Committee received a report detailing the Council’s risk management arrangements.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Ranking of risks. The Committee was informed that the ranking of risks within the Leadership Team Risk Register was considered regularly by the Leadership Team. The ranking was determined on all elements of the risk, not only it’s “risk level”.

b)            Risk L9 (successful implementation of Plan E Project Plan through SCC). The Committee noted that the risk level for this item would be reviewed following the decision of Strategy & Resources Committee to approve additional funding for the works’ completion.

c)            Risk L10 (Impact of welfare reforms including the Homelessness Act). The Committee was informed that Officers were aware of the recent increased number of homeless rough sleepers within the Borough, and that work was underway to provide assistance to them.

Accordingly, the Committee:

(1)          Considered the contents of the report and confirmed that it was satisfied with the arrangements in place for risk management.

(2)          Reviewed the Leadership Risk Register and did not identify any risks which it wished to raise with the Leadership Team.
