The report updated members of the Audit, Scrutiny and Transformation Committee on new, closed or changes to strategic risks.

After a discussion, members requested a couple of updates to the appendix which was noted by the Lead Officer.

A motion was MOVED by Cllr Faragher and SECONDED by Cllr Mrs Murphy to agreed the recommendation set out in the report.

A vote was taken by a show of hands and it was RESOLVED:

1.         To agree the Strategic & Operational Risk Registers and that the risk scores recorded for each risk accurately represents the current status of each risk.

REASON FOR DECISION

Risk Management continues to be embedded quarterly within the Senior Management Team reports, where Heads of Service discuss the top level risks for their service areas to ensure that the risks are updated to reflect the ongoing changes.

In addition the Risk & Insurance Officer will work with managers to ensure that any new or emerging risks are identified, assessed and managed appropriately.
