*Referred to Council

The report asks Members to review the Risk Management Strategy and accompanying Risk Management Guidance and to recommend to Cabinet its adoption by Full Council. The report also provides an update on the risk management process and the Strategic Risk Register.

Members reviewed the Risk Management Strategy and accompanying Risk Management Guidance attached at Annexes 1 and 2 respectively.

The report of the Management Team also provided an update on the risk management process and the Strategic Risk Register (attached at Annex 3).  Two additional risks had been added to the Register since the last review in September 2022.  These related to the implementation of the Agile software system covering Planning, Housing and Environment Health and Local Elections in May 2023.  The implementation of Agile had been identified as a red risk due to the potential costs of renewing the existing software in the event of a delayed start date.

RECOMMENDED:  That

(1)             the Risk Management Strategy and accompanying Risk Management Guidance be commended to the Cabinet for adoption by the Council; and

(2)             the updates to the Strategic Risk Register since the last iteration be noted with particular emphasis on those risks categorised as Red.
