Risk Management

Risk management is finding out what might go wrong (and what the consequences might be), when faced with uncertainties and then deciding how to prevent or reduce the chances of an event occurring.

The strategic policy team support the Councils to manage risk by:

• Providing guidance, and professional advice to identify and take control of any risks that threaten delivery of services
• Supporting the maintenance of risk registers to identify, evaluate, monitor and manage risks
• Ensuring the Risk Management Policy and Strategy, and associated guidance and training is reviewed regularly, to reflect the needs of the Councils and adhere to the latest best practice
• Analysing and reporting risks to make the most of potential opportunities, and to minimise threats to the Councils and their communities
• Ensuring risk is managed at all levels and across all service areas
• Supporting a positive culture of risk management
