Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee received a report of the Director of the Built Environment which provided assurance that risk management procedures in place within the Department of the Built Environment were satisfactory and met the requirements of the corporate Risk Management Framework. The Director of the Built Environment advised that the compliance rate with the Driver Check was at 92.4%.

In response to a Member’s query regarding risk DBE-TP-12 (Cleansing & Waste Contract – Commercials) on why there was a discrepancy between the target risk and the actual risk, the Director of the Built Environment explained that upon reviewing the risk, the likelihood had been downgraded and therefore the risk score had been amended. However, when the risk would next be reviewed the target risk would also be reviewed.

RESOLVED – That the Committee note the report and the actions taken to monitor and manage effectively risks arising from the department’s operations.
