Councillor Ian Albert presented the report entitled Risk Management and Quarterly Risk Management Update, along with Appendix A – Annual Report on Risk Management and highlighted the following key points:

·         Last report in this format as the Council Delivery Plan format will be used from quarter 1;

·         Annual report on risk management which covers business continuity, assurance and health & safety;

·         Intended to provide assurance to Cabinet and Council that risk is being managed effectively;

·         The report seeks the introduction to a new corporate risk, which is in the Council Delivery Plan format, but is an overarching risk; it highlights the potential that other projects can’t be achieved due to staffing or other resources not being available.

In response to a question from Councillor Steve Jarvis, Councillor Ian Albert advised that his comments would be reflected in any reviews or reports on the new corporate risk moving forward.
