Minutes:
The Insurance and Risk Business Advisor introduced the report and highlighted the main points to Members.
The Chairman said that the Risk Management Strategy was now much clearer and comprehensible and thanked Officers for their work on it. He asked about the risks posed by COVID-19 and climate change.
The Insurance and Risk Business Advisor said that business continuity and emergency planning had always formed part of the strategy, but the pandemic had sharpened Officers’ focus on the importance of this. Staff training on climate change was planned.
The Head of Strategic Finance and Property said that more information on the risks of climate change was contained in the following report. However, extreme weather was already affecting the Council operationally; refuse crews had been forced to carry out their duties at differing times due to extreme heat in the summer of 2019.
There were no recommendations from Members that could enhance management of risk and the associated monitoring processes.
RESOLVED – that the report be received.
