Issue - meetings

This report updates councillors on the position of the council’s Corporate Risk Register. The main updates are as follows:

·        The significant changes to the risk landscape faced by the council as a result of the pandemic.

·        An introduction to the COVID-19 Corporate Risk Register created in April 2020.

·        Information on the planned consolidation of the two registers.

The Risk and Insurance Manager presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as Appendix ‘D’ to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

The Committee received an update on the BCP Council Corporate Risk Register including the way in which it reflected the significant risk landscape faced as a result of the COVID19 pandemic. Details of the generic risk register and the COVID19 specific risk register were presented and set out in detail. Members were reminded that the latter was developed with support of the Committee at a workshop session held in April 2020. It was reported that after further consideration the register would now be the subject of a fundamental review with the intention, through consolidation, to create a single set of risks. The outcome of the process would be presented to a future meeting of the Committee.

RESOLVED

that the update provided in relation to corporate risks be noted.
