Issue - meetings

To receive an introduction and approach to Risk Management Training from Rob Winter.

It was proposed by Councillor Woodward, seconded by Councillor Howkins and resolved to exclude the public and press for the discussion of this agenda item, in accordance with paragraph 3 of part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) because it was likely to disclose information relating to the financial of business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) and in all circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

The Committee received a presentation regarding a review of the Council’s Risk Management arrangements. The Committee were provided with the scope of the review which would focus on the Council’s risk management policy and registers, review how risk was reported to committees, and seek to embed risk management across the Council’s documents and policies. The review would seek to shift the focus on risk to provide assurance that the governance arrangements in place should facilitate the Council’s success, achievement and delivery.

Some members of the Committee expressed support for the approach. The Committee were assured that the Commissioners had engaged with the presenter, and political group leaders would be involved in providing steer.

In accordance with Standing Order 38.4, the meeting adjourned at 10.30pm.
