Risk Management Strategy
In November 2005 the cabinet approved a draft
Risk Management Strategy that was attached as Appendix 1 to the
risk management update report. This strategy followed a Risk
Management Protocol approved by Cabinet on the 5th April 2005.
Both documents provided a sound basis for risk
management in any organisation. Review of these documents
highlighted that there was still a need for detailed guidance as to
“how to”
undertake Risk Management so consistency of
practice could be achieved throughout the organisation. This
guidance would also ensure that risk management doesn’t become seen
as another initiative or a burden on officers and members alike but
a useful tool that adds benefit to the achievement of goals and
objectives.
This strategy document therefore replaces (and
incorporates details from) the previous Risk Management Protocol
and the Risk Management Strategy as approved. This document
encapsulates the way risk management will be undertaken
consistently throughout the organisation.
