Department of the Built Environment Risk Management - Quarterly Report

Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Director of the Built Environment providing Members with assurance that risk management procedures in place within the Department of the Built Environment are satisfactory and that they meet the requirements of the Corporate Risk Management Framework.

 

Officers highlighted that the risk score for  DBE – TP – 03 - ‘Major Projects not delivered as TfL funding not received’ had increased from green to amber in the last quarter.

 

Officers went on to talk of a new risk which had arisen since the writing of this report – COVID-19. Members were informed that the Department had recently reviewed its business continuity plans in light of this and that home working options were being explored for all should this prove necessary in the coming weeks. Members were also informed that resilience planning was taking place at a Corporate level and that a COVID-19 Steering Group, led by Assistant Town Clerk Peter Lisley, had also been established to coordinate the City Corporation’s response and ensure colleagues receive appropriate and timely advice.

 

In response to a question around the risk rating for risk DBE-PL-06 – Section 106 controls, moving from Amber to Green, Officers stated that this had been an oversight and would be updated for future reports.

 

RESOLVED – That Members note the report and the actions taken in the Department of the Built Environment to monitor and manage effectively risks arising from the department’s operations.
