Minutes:
The Committee considered a report on the approach and methodology for
risk management which outlined the proposed future arrangements developed
through emerging strategic priorities, operating model, best practice, and a review
of the Sovereign Councils current risk management arrangements.
A presentation was provided on the consolidated risk management
arrangements, robust methodology, strategic context linked with operating model
of the new Council, inherited risks, risk tolerance and appetite, and
effectiveness of mitigation control.
The report was welcomed by members, and a request was made for
appropriate application of the methodology as soon as possible and for training
of members and officers to ensure that behaviours and culture of Dorset Council
reflected this risk approach.
Decisions
1. That the proposed Risk Management Framework be approved.
2. That the
Committee receive a brief presentation on the work underway to understand the existing
risk landscape, based on sovereign council corporate risks.
Reason for Decisions
To ensure the new council operated safely and within risk appetite, with a robust framework in place aligned to meeting Corporate objectives.
