Report of the Chamberlain.

The Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain setting out the latest Corporate Risk Register and the addition of two new Corporate Risks, as detailed above.  The  Chairman was also pleased to announce the success of a recent Member Development session on risk management, which had been very interactive and raised interest in future membership of the Committee.

In respect of the other corporate risks, the following matters were raised/noted:

• Police Funding Gap – this would be the subject of a Member Breakfast briefing, to which external Members would be invited.

• IT Service Provision  - the completion of the Police infrastructure work would bring in extra resilience and completion was expected for the end of December.  Members noted that this would make a significant difference to the risk level.

RESOLVED, that :

1)   The Committee endorse the decision of the Chief Officers’ Risk Management Group to add new two risks to the corporate risk register, as set out below, and note that this will increase the total number of corporate risks to 11:

·    MCP – Air quality

·    DBE – Road Safety

2)     It be noted that there are no substantive changes to the existing nine corporate risks since the last risk update to Audit and Risk Management Committee in September 2015.
