Risk management helps all areas of the Council make better decisions and successfully achieve the Council’s objectives. Risk management is fundamentally about better business management and it should be considered in this context rather than as a separate standalone activity. The Enterprise Risk Management Policy (‘the policy’) is the Council’s over-arching risk management document, and describes the Council’s risk management framework which aims to protect the Council’s people, assets, finances, reputation, and service delivery from the impacts of unplanned events, while also identifying opportunities to make improvements across all areas. The policy supersedes the existing policy dated December 2016.
