This report introduces the Council’s new Risk Management Policy.

The purpose of the review of the existing policy was to refresh and strengthen the council’s framework for the identification, measurement, management, monitoring and reporting on risk.

Whilst the policy principles have not been subject to significant change, in order to reflect the aspiration to continue to develop the risk management discipline, the new policy includes the plan to implement Enterprise Risk Management.

The new policy sets out how risks will be reported including future reporting to this Committee.

The new policy is included at Appendix 1.
