Decision details

Ian Young, Director of Governance, Finance and Public Services and Paul Bond, Head of Legal and Democratic Services attended and presented a report regarding the Risk and Opportunity Register.

It was explained that the corporate approach to reporting on risk and opportunity had been previously agreed and involved Risk and Opportunity reports being provided to Management Team on a quarterly basis. The reports would then come to the Cabinet Committee on Performance Improvement and then to the Audit and Governance Committee.

It was noted that the first report was the first quarterly updated refresh of the Risk and Opportunity Register. The Register for quarter 1 was set out at Appendix 'A' to the report.

The key highlights in the Register were noted and included:

·  Allowing for mitigating actions, 16 issues remained on the register as the residual risk score remained 12 or above.

·  The wording of Issue CR15 regarding waste had been amended and additional mitigating actions included.

·  3 new entries had been added to the Register relating to issues regarding National Troubled Families Unit, children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities and proposed museum closures.

·  11 entries had been removed from the Register because the mitigating actions have reduced the residual risk score to below 12. These would continue to be monitored at a service level.

Resolved: That the report now presented be noted.
